Cancers Cured ! 



DR. KINGSLEY, 

OIF' iloivee:, i^- tt-. 

Has discovered a perfect cure for Cancers without the use of the knife. Thousands of 
cases cured can testify to the efficacy of this plan of treatment. This preparation will 
destroy the specific nature of most Cancers in from ten to sixty minutes. Even in those 
large Cancerous afl^'ections of the breast, from which so many females die annually, my 
specific is equally as elTectnal as in those smaller surface Cancers. Ninety-nine out of a 
hundred of all those persons who have died from Cancer, could easily have been cured. 
Cancer has been considered from time immemorial the greatest scourge of the human 
race ; but the time will come when all shall see that it is as remediable as any other dis- 
ease. At the same time remedies are given to purify the blood and fortify the system 
against a renewed attack. In all cases, if the Cancer is not too far advanced, a perfect 
cure is warranted, or no charge. 

Most persons are greatly de'ceived in regard to the first symptoms and appearance of 
Cancer, considering it very painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, 
(causing the death of thousands,) there being but little or no pain until the Cancer is far 
advanced. The only symptoms for months, and in some cases even for years, is occa- 
sionally either a stringing, itching, smarting, burning, creeping or shooting sensation, 
and in some cases not even any of these. Nearly all of those kernels or lumps that occur 
in the female breast, and also those unnatural appearances in the form of crusts or warty 
excrescence, which appear in either sex on the face, lips, nose, eye lids, or any other part 
of the surface, are cancers. Cancer is very easily cured in its early stage, consequently 
it is of the very greatest importance that all thus aftlicted should have immediate treat- 
ment ; as thousands of very valuable lives have been lost from pure neglect, having been 
misguided by physicians having no knowledge of the disease, who, by calling it Scrofula, 
Erysipelas, Salt Rheum or some other non-terrifying disease, lull this unfortunate class 
in the cradle of ignorance, until upon the very verge of death, when, to hide such ignor- 
ance, the physician tells the patient that it lias finally turned to Cancer, and cannot be 
cured. There is no such thing as turning to Cancer. Whatever ends in Cancer, began 
in Cancer. Be no lonoer deceived. If you have the slightest suspicion of trouble, seek 
immediate relief and thereby preserve life. 

Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Liver Com- 
plaint, Pits, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Scald Head, Piles, Tape Worms, or Worms 
of any kind, all Diseases of the Skin, Pimples, Scrofula or King's Evil, Fever Sores, 
Spinal Diseases, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Diabetes, Kidney Diseases, Gravel, and 
all Diseases peculiar to Males or Females, successfully treated. 

Warts, Corns, Bunions, Moles, Wens, Birth-Marks, Tumors &c., removed. Especial 
attention given to the treatment of Crooked Feet, Legs, Arms, Spine, Neck, and all other 
deformities. Cross Byes straightened, Hare-Lips curkl by an entirely new plan of oper-

Especial attention given to the treatment of all diseases originating from the errors of 
misguided Youth. 

Patients from a distance, except in Surgical and Cancer cases, by sending a full des- 
cription of their symptoms, can have medicines sent by Mail or Express, and be treated 
at home. 

All letters promptly answered, and medicines ordered, immediately forwarded. 

The Doctor is a OTaduate with an experience of over fourteen years in the practice of 
medicine, twelve of which have been spent in Rome. 

N. B. — All persons troubled with Asthma should send for Dr. Kingsley's ASTHMA 
SPECIFIC, which is warranted to relieve any case or money refunded. 

Send for DR. KINGSLEY'S AGUE SPECIFIC, which is purely vegetable and 
never fails to cure. 

All troubled with a Cough of any kind should be sure to send for DR. KINGSLEY'S 
COUGH BALSAM, which cures as by magic.

In presenting to the pnblicthe initial number of the " Gazet- 
teer and Directory of Eensselaer County," the publisher desires 
to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted 
in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and 
without whose aid it would have been impossible to collect it 
in the brief space of time in which it is essential that all such 
works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to 
the several editors of The Troy Times, Troy Whig, Troy Press 
and Lansinghurgh Gazette, for the uniform kindness which has 
been evinced in calling public attention to the author's eiforts ; 
and to the following persons, viz., E. W. Greenman, County 
Clerk, G. Robertson, Jr., Assessor Internal Eevenue, Troy ; W. 
L. Cottrell, School Commissioner, Poestenkill ; F. H. Stevens, 
Librarian of Troy Young Men's Association ; S. V. K Miller, 
Mechanicsville ; J. E. Knickerbocker, Schaghticoke ; Rev. A. 
H. Brush, Nassau ; and to many others in various parts of the 
County who have kindly volunteered their aid. 

The following works were consulted in its preparation : 
"French's Gazetteer of tlm State of New York ;" " Geological 
Report ;" " Documentary History of New York ;" " History of 
Rensselaerwyck ;" " Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution ;" 
" Reminiscences of Troy ;" " New York State Census Reports of 
1865," and many other works. 

That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names 
and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have 
been omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. 
We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary dili- 
gence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book- 
making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of error or# 
omission, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader 
in marking such as were observed in the subsequent reading of • 
the proofs, and which are noted in the Errata, following the 
Introduction. 

The Map of the County was engraved with great care by 
Messrs. " Weed, Parsons & Co.," of Albany, and, it is believed, 
will prove a valuable acquisition to the work. 

The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men 
and firms of the County, and also many enterprising and reli- 
able dealers in other parts of the State. We most cheerfully 
commend them all to the patronage of those under whose obser- 
vation these pages may come. 

With thanks to friends generally, we leave our work to secure 
the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminat- 
ing business public. . HAMILTON CHILD.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



Troy Bell Foundry.— The old es- 
tablished and popular Troy Bell Foundry 
of JONES & CO., is one of th« numerous 
successful enterprises in Troy, N. Y., which 
have made it famous in the annals of in- 
dustry and ingenious works of art, one of 
the most important of which is the manu- 
facture of Bells. The Troy Foundry is one 
of the oldest in the country, and is com- 
plete in all its appointments for the found- 
ing of bells of all sizes, which have, per- 
haps, been more admired for their beauty 
of finish and perfectness of sound (in this 
lies the main utility of the bell) than any in 
the United States. Long experience and 
natural genius in this direction are brought 
to bear here to excel in the production of 
this instrument; the establishment exer- 
cises great care, and makes use of thorough 
and infallible tests, to produce none but 
perfect bells— indeed, they warrant every 
one they make. They have done much to 
reduce this business to scientific princi- 
ples, and bell founders are indebted to 
them for many of the most important and 
useful improvements in the processes and 
principles of casting bells. We could not 
fail to notice, during our visit to this found- 
ry, that in the proportions of metals used, 
the shape and general make of these bells, 
uniform care was exercised with each, and 
all made in accordance with the most ap- 
proved principles of science ; each instru- 
ment made to produce that uniformly 
smooth, soft, and melodius sound for which 
the Troy Bell is famous— nothing of that 
harshness and roughness which character- 
izes bells made of poor metal, and in dis- 
regard of all principles of science governing 
their manufacture. The size, thickness, 
weight and tone of every bell is regulated 
and tested by a diapason or scale, and each 
set to a certain key or pitch. The larger 
bells made by this firm all have that clear, 
far-reaching, and pleasing tone, so much 
admired in church bells, and which have 
made the name of these manufacturers so 
familiar and the bells so popular through- 
out the c6untry.' Our readers will be glad 
to know something of the history and ex- 
tent of this foundry. 

This foundry was established in 1852, by 
Jones & Hitchcock, who commenced the 
manufacture of bells. Both had had many 
years' experience in the founding business, 
and believed they could succeed in the es- 
tablishing of a foundry for this purpose, 
and set out with the determination to ex- 
cel, and have been successful in an eminent 
. deurce. The first bell founded was for the 
Fire Department in New York City, weigh- 
ing 12,000 pounds, which gave entire eaiis- 
faction, and was regarded one of the best 
bells ever cast. They entered upon the 
mauufacture of bells of all sizes, weighing 
from 15 to 14,000 pounds, and their busi- 
ness the fi'rst year amounted to over J;50,- 
000. Their bells fittaiued a great populari- 
ty, and liavo maintained it since. They 
commenced in a small building, but, in 
1854, their business had increased to such 
dimensions lis to demand more room for 
operations, and to meet this demand they 
erected a large three-story building, with 



foundry and shops. In August, 1854, it 
was burned down at the great fire in that 
year. It was a total loss to them, but they 
were not discouraged, and immediately 
commenced the erection of the buildings 
which they now occupy, and in two weeks 
from the time of the fire cast a bell in the 
new foundry which, as if by magic, had 
risen from the ashes of the old, for New 
York City, weighing 12,000 pounds, and 
since have cast bells for that city, each 
weighing from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds.— 
They made the large fire-alarm bell for 
Chicago, weighing 11,000 pounds, and have 
made them for almost every large city in 
the United States. 

The first complete chime of bells ever 
made in this country and placed in a 
church tower, were cast at this establish- 
ment for St. Stephen's Church, Philadel- 
phia. Itjconsisted of nine bells, largest 
2838— total weight, 13,798 pounds; a large 
chime for the First Evangelist Church at 
Lancaster, Pa., consisting of eight bells, 
total weight, 8144 ; a chime of eleven bells 
for Christ's Church, Detroit; a chime of 
eleven bells for First Evang. Luth. Church, 
Harrisburgh, Pa. ; also a large number of 
others for churches in the United States 
and Canada. They have also manufactured 
a number of peals, consisting of from two 
to six bells. They have made all the large 
fire-alarm bells for New York City, which 
fact of itself constitutes a strong evidence 
of the superiority of their bells. 

The business is now in the hands of 
Octavous and Marcus R. Jones, the for- 
mer having charge of the mechanical de- 
partment, havinw been educated in the 
business, and fully acquainted with all its 
minutiiE ; the latter, of the books and out- 
side management, which is conducted with 
no less ability. Indeed, they had charge of 
the business previous to the death of their 
father, Eber Jones, (so well known as an 
iron founder, and who in connection with 
Mr. Hitchcock, established these works in 
1852,) and will continue to maintain the 
high reputation of the foundry. They have 
inherited all the enterprise, genius, and 
skill of the father, and are, in every respect, 
worthy successors. 

In proof of the superiority of the bell 
manufactured here, we have only to cite 
the fact that it has borne off the first prize 
at the fairs where it has been in competi- 
tion with the bells from all parts of the 
world. It took the first premium at the 
Crystal Palace Fair, in New York, in 1854, 
receiving a gold medal at the Fair of the 
American Institute, held in Castle Garden, 
N. Y., in 1858; at several State Fairs, in 
various States of the Union, whenever it 
has been in competition. The prizes were 
awarded for best Church, Academy, Fire- 
Alarm, Locomotive, and other Bells* for 
best Chime and best Peal of Bells. They 
have testimonials of the excellence of their 
Bells from those who have purchased and 
used them. We saw these and a number of 
gold and silver prize medals.

provement in the hanging of hells, that has 
decided merits. This method of hanging 
hells, consisting of a solid tapering shank, 
in place of the rods formeriy used, screwed 
tightly into the socket made to receive it 
in the yoke, adds materially to its dura- 
bility and strength, and increases and im- 
proves its tone. This valuable improve- 
ment is used exclusively by this firm. 

The bells made here are of the purest 
metal, and excel in depth and richness of 
tone on this account. The proprietors 
have been educated in this business, and 
pride themselves in the excellence of their 
workmanship and giving satisfaction to 
customers. For beauty of finish, sweet- 
ness of tone, and musical accord, we be- 
lieve these bells are unexcelled. Purchas- 
ers may rest assured they will be dealt with 
here honorably and fairly, receiving the 
best articles at the most reasonable rates. —

The Keynold's Steel Temper- 

injj,- Works, Reynolds, Barber & Co., 
Proprietors, at Auburn, are largely engaged 
in the manufacture of Reaper and Mower 
Knives, Plane Irons, Chisels &c. The 
process by which they temper steel is a pe- 
culiar one, and as patented by Mr. Rey- 
nolds, is the result of over forty years 
labor. This gentleman always worked on 
the plan that tempering steel was simply 
changing it from a fibrous to a granular 
stale. He certainly has succeeded in pro- 
ducing a finer granulation (temper) than 
has ever before been produced. Messrs. 
Reynolds, Barber & Co. control the patents 
for these processes, and are applying them 
successfully in all their manufactures.— 
Their establishment is capable of turning 
out an immense amount of work, yet their 
orders are now, and have been for some 
months, accumulating far in advance of 
their present ability to supply ; a circum- 
stance which they will not long allow to be 
the case. We predict that the time is not 
far distant vi'hen all Mower and Reaper 
Factories and farmers will use their im- 
proved sections. See their advertisement 
on page 6. 



HoTve's Never-Failingt Ague 
Cure- and Tonic. Bitters, and 
Howe's Concentrated Syrup, are 

prepared under the personal supervision of 
Dr. C. B. Howe, the proprietor, at Seneca 
Palls, N. Y., for ague and fever, and all 
periodic diseases, rheumatism, paralysis, 
etc. The "Ague Cure " has produced won- 
derful cures. The " Syrup," for the blood, 
liver, skin, digestive and uterine organs, 
has cured many cases of scrofula, cancer, 
tumors, goiter, salt rheum, scaldhead, and 
many other diseases too numerous to men- 
tion in this place. See card, page 20. 

Nutting, Hull & Co's Agriculteral 
Warehouse at 357 and 359 River Street, 
Troy, N. Y., is well supplied with Farm 
Implements for all seasons. Among them 
may bfe found the Buckeye Mower and 
Self Raking Reaper, whose good qualities 
are known and-appreciated throughout the 
country, and Cahoon's Broadcast Seed Sow- 
er, which supplies another want long fekby 
the farmers. A great variety of Garden 
and Field Seeds, Fertilizers "&c., are al- 
ways on hand. See advertisement on page

Tlse Northern Budget, published 
by G. L. Mac Arthur, No. 1 First Street, 
Tro3% N. Y., is issued every Sunday morn- 
lug and sent out by mail and horse cars to 
the surrounding towns. The paper ha? a 
large circulation. It contains the latest 
telegraph and local news and a large 
amount of interesting reading matter. — 
Those who wish for a good family paper 
will find this worthy of their pati'onage.

The Buckeye Mo^r^lng and 

Keaping Machine. — When the great 
U. S. Trial of Mowers and Reapers was held 
at Auburn in 1857, this admirable machine, 
which had just been brought out, surprised 
every body by its novelty and many excel- 
lencies, and won -the highest awards. At 
that time the valuable patents under which 
it was built were secured for several States 
by the enterprising firm which now con- 
tinues its manufacture, Adriance, Piatt & 
Co. At the second great trial of Mowers 
and Reapers, made by the N. Y. State Agri- 
cultural Society in 1866, the Buckeye again 
carried off the highest honors, show'ing 
that in the years' intervening it had not 
gone backward in the race for superiority. 
Every new suggestion is thoroughly 
weighed, improvements only are adopted. 
The verdict of the people is nearly as unani- 
mous as that of the learned and practical 
committees who made these awards, for its 
sales far exceed those of any other ma- 
chine in the sections supplied by Adriance, 
Piatt & Co. In fact they increase so jast, 
that the demand is almost always in ex- 
cess of the supply. The Self-Raking At- 
tachment on the Buckeye Machine has met 
with a success corresponding to that of the 
Mower, and has surpassed all others in the 
perfection of its operation. One great 
secret of the success of Adriance Piatt & 
Co., as manufacturers, has been in the con- 
scientious manner in which they have 
built their machines, and the great dura- 
bility of the Buckeye machine has been 
largely due to the excellence of the mate- 
rial used and the mechanical perfection of 
the workmanship. See advertisement on 
Map.

Dodge & Iiord, manufacturers of 
Melodeons and Reed Organs, at Ithaca,

Syracuse. The styles of their organs are 
particularly, their own, possessing all 
modern improvements, and some unknown 
to other manufacturers. They have found 
market for their instruments in every 
county_ of the State, and in Northern Penn- 
sylvania and New Jersey, and have an in- 
creasing trade with the West, in all of 
which places they are brought into success- 
ful competition with the first Eastern 
manufacturers. They are both practical 
men, and have secured workmen of long 
experience and tried abilities. Situated 
midway between the Erie and N. Y. C. 
Railways, they can ship conveniently to all 
parts of the country. See card, page 20.

into the Union by a joint resolution approved March 1st, 1845, imposing 
certain conditions, which were accepted, and a Constitution formed July 
4 of the same year, and another joint resolution adopted by Congress, 
consummating the annexation, was approved December 39, 1845. Area 
237,504 square miles, or 153,003,500 acres. Population in 1860,604,315, of 
whom 183,566 were slaves. It is an agricultural region, principally devo- 
ted to grain, cotton and tropical fruits. Free white male citizens of 31 
years of age, who have resided in the State one year and district six 
months are entitled to vote. A Convention assembled at Galveston Jan- 
uary 38, 1861, and on February 1 passed an ordinance of secession, by a 
vote of 166 to 7, to be submitted to the people February 33, and on March 
4 they declared the State out of the Union, and Gov. Houston issued a 
Proclamation to that effect.

chiefly under grants from New Hampshire ; was formed from a part of 
the territory of New York, by act of its Legislature March 6, 1769 ; framed 
a Constitution December 25, 1777, and was admitted into the Union 
March 4, 1791, by virtue of an act of Congress passed February 18 of the 
same year. Area 10,212 square miles, or 6,535,680 acres. Population in 
1860, 315,098. It is a grazing region, producing more wool, live stock, 
maple sugar, butter, cheese and hay, in proportion to its population, than 
any other State. Any citizen of tiie United States who has resided in the 
State one year, and will take the oath of allegiance, is entitled to vote.

by a Convention which met at Wheeling, May 11, 1861. Upon the divi- 
sion of the State in 1863, the seat of Government was removed to Alexan- 
dria. A State Constitutional Convention, March 10, 1864, adopted a sec- 
tion abolishing slavery. 

W£JST TI'RGIJVIA.—Qvl the passage of the ordinance of se- 
cession by the Virginia Convention, a Convention of the western and other 
loyal counties of the State was held at Wheeling, which/ assembled May 
11, 1861, and on the 17th unanimously deposed the then State officers and 
organized a Provisional Government. On the 36th of November, 1861, a 
Convention representing the western counties assembled in Wheeling and 
framed a Constitution for West Virginia, which was submitted to the 
people on the 3d of May, 1863, and adopted by them by a nearly unani- 
mous vote. The division of the State was sanctioned by the Legislature 
May 13, 1863, and ratified by Congress by an act approved December 31, 
1863, conditioned on the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution 
providing for the gradual abolition of slavery, which was done on the 34th 
of March, 1863, by a vote of the qualified electors of the proposed State, 
38,318 voting in favor of the amendment, and 573 against it.. In pursu-

jriSCOJVSIJV was settled at Green Bay, in 1669, by the French ; 
was a part of the territory ceded by Virginia, and was set off fi-om Mich- 
igan December 84, 1834, and was organized into a Territory April 30, 
1836. Iowa was set off from it June 13, 1838, and acts were passed at 
various times setting its boundaries. March 3, 1847, an act for its admis- 
sion into the Union was passed, to take effect on the issuing of a Procla- 
m.ation by the President, and by act of May 39, 1848, it was admitted into 
the Union. Area 53,934 square miles, or 34,511,360 acres. Population in

;ALA.SIi^ji, our new territory, recently purchased of Kussia, compre- 
hends all the north-west coast on the Pacific, and the adjacent islands north 
of the parallel of 50 degrees 40 minutes north, and the portion of the main- 
land west of the meridian (about 140° west) of Mount St. Elias. The area 
is computed at 481,376 square miles. The climate, although warmer than 
in the same latitude on the eastern coast, is too rigorous to admit of suc- 
cessful agricultural operations, and the chief value of the country and ad- 
jacent seas is derived from their fisheries and hunting grounds. The south- 
ern and central portions are mountainous ; the northern portion along the 
Arctic ocean is quite flat, nowhere rising more than fifteen or twenty feet 
above the sea. The population is estimated at about 80,000, mostly Esqui- 
meaux. 

ci.^IZOJVA. was organized by the Thirty- Seventh Congress, in the win- 
ter of 1863, out of the western half of New Mexico, the boundary between 
the two Territories being the 109th meridian (32d west from Washington,) 
and includes the greater portions of the valleys of Colorado and Gila, 
which two rivers drain its entire surface, with parts of Utah, New Mexico 
and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less volume of water to the 
sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile Messilla Valley was left with 
New Mexico. The Territory forms a block nearly square, and contains 
126,141 square miles, or 80,730,340 acres. Its white population is probably 
considerably less than 10,000. For agricultural purposes it is probably 
the most worthless on the Continent, owing to the absence of rains, but it 
is reputed to abound in silver mines. 

C<9Z^ (9 :%,;4:2)<9 was organized March 3, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 
Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Mountains, 
between latitude 37° and 41°, and longitude 25'' and 32° west from Wash- 
ington. Area 104,500 square miles, or 66,880,000 acres. Population 50,- 
OOU, besides numerous tribes of Indians. By an enabling act passed March 
31, 1864, the people of the Territory were authorized to frame a State Con- 
stitution and organize a State Government, and a Convention accordingly 
met in 1865, and on the 13th of August adopted a Constitution, which was 
sul)niitted to and adopted by the people September 5, and State officci-s 
elected November 14. A bill to admit the Territory as a State passed 
Congress, but was vetoed May 35, 1866. It is said to be a superior graz- 
ing and cattle producing region, Avith a healthy climate and rich soil. 
An extensive coal bed, and also gold, u-ou and other minerals abound.

3)A£^0TA. was first settled by emyloyees of the Hudson Bay Com- 
pany, but is now being peopled by emigrants from the Northern and Wes- 
tern States. It was set off from the western portion of Minnesota when 
that Territory became a State in 1857, and was organized March 2, 1861. 
Area 148,933 square miles, or 95,316,480 acres. Population 2.576 whites, 
and 2,261 Indians, besides the roving tribes. 

I'DAMO was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, at its second 
session, in the winter of 1863. Its name means 'Bead of the Mountains,' 
and it embraces the whole breadth of the Rocky Mountain region, and lias 
within its bounds the head waters of nearly all the great rivers that flow 
down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the mountains. 
Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th parallel of latitude. 
It extends from the 104th meridian on the east to the 110th on the west. 
Area 326,373 square miles, or 208,870,720 acres. For agricultural purposes 
it is comparatively worthless, but abounds in gold and other valuable 
mines. 

MOJVTA.JVA. was settled by emigrants from the Northern and West- 
ern States. Organized in 1864, with the following boundaries: Com- 
mencing at a point formed by the intersection of the 27° L. W. from Wash- 
ington with the 45'* N. L. ; thence due west on said 45th degree to a point 
formed bj"- its intersection with the 34th degree W. from Washington ; 
thence due south along said 34th degree of longitude to its intersection 
with the 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. ; thence due west along said 
44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. to a point formed by its intersection 
with the crest of the Rocky Mountains; thence following the crest of the 
Rocky Mountains northward till its intersection with the Bitter Root 
Mountains ; thence northward along the crest of said Bitter Root Moun- 
tains to its intersection with the 39th degree of longitude W. from Wash- 
ington; thence along said 39th degree of longitude northward to the 
boundary line of the British possessions; thence eastward along said 
boundary to the 27th degree of longitude W. from Washington; thence 
southward along said 27th degree to the place of beginning. This makes 
it the northermost Territory next the States east of the Missouri Valley. It 
is a good mining and agricultural region. The total population is put 
down at 15,822. Large accessions have been made since the census was 
taken. 

jVMW MEXICO was formed from a part of the territory ceded to 
the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, Feb- 
ruary 2, 1848, and was organized into a Territory September 9, 1850. — 
xirea 121,201 square miles, or 77,568,640 acres. Population 83,000, besides 
large tribes of warlike Indians. The principal resource of the country is 
its minerals. 

^yi^^was settled by the Mormons, and was formed from a part of 
the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guada- 
loupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848, and was organized into a Territory, Sep- 
tember 9, 1850. Area, 106,382 square miles, or 68,084,480 acres. Popula- 
ton, 40,273, of whom 29 were slaves. Brine, sulphureous and chalybeate 
springs abound; limestone, granite, sandstone and marble are found in 
large quantities ; iron is abundant, and gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc 
have been found. Not one-fiftieth part of the soil is fit for tillage, but on 
that which is, abundant crops of grain and considerable 'cotton are raised. 
K. Convention was held at Great Salt Lake City, January 22, 1862, and a 
State Constitution formed, but it has not been acted on by Congress. 

WASHIJVG TOJV\^^% settled by emigrants from the Northern and 
Western States, and was organized into a Territory, March 2, 1853, from the 
northern portion of Oregon, to which was added another portion from the

eastern part wlien the latter Territory was admitted as a State, February 
14, 1859. Area 69,994 square miles, or 48,636,800 acres. Population 
11,168, besides numerous tribes of Indians. 

WTOMIJVG was organized in July 1868. It lies between the 37th and 
34th meridians of longitude west from Washington, and between the 
41st and 45th parallels of latitude. The Territory is rich in mineral wealth, 
having large quantities of iron, coal, gypsum and building stone, besides 
vast quantities of gold, silver and copper. Salt springs of great value are 
found within its limits. The western portion of the Territory embraces 
what is generally known as the " Sweet Water Mines." The climate is 
healthy, and the Territory is rapidly filling up with an. enterprising and 
hardy population. The act of Congress organizing the Territory, provides 
that '' There shall be no denial of the elective franchise or any other right, 
ou account of color or race, and all persons shall be equal before the law."

States Government of claims 
by soldiers, or their legal rep- 
resentatives, for pensions,

erty lost in the service, exempt. 

CANCELLATION. 



In all cases where an adhesive stamp is 
used for denoting the stamp duty upon an 
instrument, the person using or affixing the 
same must write or imprint thereupon in 
ink the initials of his name, and the date 
(the year, month, and day) on which the 
same is attached or used. Each stamp 
should be separately cancelled. When 
stamps are printed upon checks, &c., so 
that in filling up the instrument, the face of 
the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- 
ten across, no other cancellation will be re- 
quired. 

All cancellation must be distinct and legi- 
ble, and except in the case of proprietary 
stamps from private dies, no method of 
cancellation which differs from that above 
described can be recognized as legal and 
sufficient. 

PENALTIES. 

A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon 
every person who makes, signs, or issues, 
or who causes to be made, signed, or issu- 
ed, any paper of any kind or description 
whatever, or who accepts, negotiates, or 
pays, or causes to be accepted, negotiated, 
or paid, any bill of exchange, draft, or or- 
der, or promissory note, for the payment of 
money, without the same being duly stamp- 
ed, or having thereupon an adhesive stamp 
for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, 
cancelled in the manner required by law, 
with intent to evade the provisions of the 
revenue act. 

A penalty of two hundred dollars is im- 
posed upon every person who pays, nego- 
tiates, or ofters in payment, or receives or 
takes in payment, any bill of exchange or 
order for the payment of any sum of money 
drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for- 
eign country, but payable in the United 
States, until the proper stamp has been af- 
fixed thereto, 

A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon 
every person who fraudulently makes use 
of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty re- 
quired by the revenue act, without eflectu- 
ally cancelling and obliterating the same in 
the manner required by law. 

Attention is particularly called to the fol- 
lowing extract from section 155, of the act 
of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of 
July 13, 1866 : 

"If any person shall wilfully remove or 
cause to be removed, alter or cause to be al- 
tered, the cancelling or defacing marks on 
any adhesive stamp, with intent to use the 
same, or to cause the use of the same, after 
it shall have been used once, or shall know- 
ingly or wilfully sell or buy such washed 
or restored stamps, or offer the same for 
sale, or give or expose the same to any per-

STAMP DUTIES. 



son for use, or knowingly use the same or 
prepare the same with intent for the fur- 
ther nee thereof, or if any person shall 
knowingly and without lawful excuse (the 
proof whereof shall lie on the person accus- 
ed) have in his possession any washed, re- 
stored, or altered stamps, which have been 
removed from any vellum, parchment, pa- 
per, instrument or writing ; then, and in 
every such case, every person so offending, 
and every person knowingly and wilfully 
aiding, abetting, or assisting in committing 
any such offence as aforesaid, shall, on con- 
viction thereof, * * * be punished by 
a line not exceeding one thousand dollars, 
or by imprisonment and coniinement to 
hard labor not exceeding five years, or both, 
at the discretion of the court." 

It is not lawful to record any instrument, 
document, or paper required by law to be 
stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a 
stamp or stamps of the proper amoimt have 
been affixed and cancelled in the manner 
required by law ; and such instrument or 
copy and the record thereof are utterly null 
and void, and cannot be used or admitted as 
evidence in any court until the defect has 
been cured as provided in section 158. 

All willful violations of the law should be 
reported to the United States District Attor- 
ney within and for the district where they 
are committed. 

GENEKAL REMARKS. 

Revenue stamps may be used indiscrimi- 
nately upon any of the matters or things 
enumerated in Schedule B, except proprie- 
tary and playing card stamps, for which a 
special use has Deen provided. 

Postage stamps cannot be used in pay- 
ment of the duty chargeable on instm- 
ments. 

The law does not designate which of the 
paTties to an instrument shall furnish the 
necessary stamp, nor does the Commission- 
er of Internal Revenue assume to determine 
that it shall be supplied by one party rather 
than by another ; but if an instrument sub- 
ject to stamp duty is issued without Imving 
the necessary stamps affixed thereto, it can- 
not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev- 
idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or 
stamps, denoting the amount of tax, shall 
have been affixed as prescribed by law, and 
the person who tlaua issues it is liable to a 
penalty, if he omits the stamps with an in- 
tent to evade the provisions of the internal 
revenue act. 

The first act imposing a stamp tax upon 
certain specified instruments tooli eftect, so 
far as said tax is concerned, October 1, 1862. 
The impression which seems to prevail to 
some extent, that no stamps are required 
upon any instruments issued in the States 
lately in insurrection, prior to the surren- 
der, or prior to the establishment of collec- 
tion districts there, is erroneous. 

Instruments issued in those States since 
October 1, 1802, are subject to the same tax- 
es as similar ones issued at the same time 
in the other States. 

No stamp is necessary upon an instrument 
executed prior to October 1, 1SG2, to make 



it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to 
record. 

Certificates of loan in which there shall 
appear any written or printed evidence of 
an amount of money to be paid on demand, 
or at a time designated, are subject to stamp 
duty as "promissory notes." 

When two or more persons join in the ex- 
ecution of an instrument, the stamp to which 
the instrument is liable under the law, may 
be affixed and cancelled by either of them ; 
and "when more than one signature is affix- 
ed to the same paper, one or more stamps 
may be affixed thereto, representing the 
whole amount of the stamp requirecl for 
such signatures." 

No stamp is required on any warrant of 
attorney accompanying a bond or note, 
when such bond or note has affixed thereto 
the stamp or stamps denoting the duty re- 
quired ; and, whenever any bond or note is 
secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty is 
required on such papers— such stamp duty 
being the highest rate required for such in- 
struments, or either of them. In such case 
a note or memorandum of the value or de- 
nomination of the stamp affixed should be 
made upon the margin or in the acknowl- 
edgement of the instnunent which is not 
stamped. 

Particular attention is called to the 
change in section 154, by striking out the 
words "or used ;" the exemption thereun- 
der is thus restricted to documents, &c., 
issued by the officers therein named. Also 
to the changes in sections 152 and 158, by 
inserting the words "and cancelled in the 
manner required by law." 

The acceptor or acceptors of any bill of 
exchange, or order for the payment of any 
sum of money, drawn or purporting to be 
drawn in any foreign country, but payable 
in the United States, must, before paying or 
accepting the same, place thereupon a 
stamp indicating the duty. 

It is only upon conveyances of realty sold 
that conveyance stamps are necessary. A 
deed of real estate made mthout valuable 
consideration need not be stamped as a 
conveyance ; but if it contains covenants, 
such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant 
and defend the title, it should be stamped 
as an agreement or contract. 

When a deed purporting to be a convey- 
ance of realty sold, and stamped accordiug- 
1}', is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, 
made simply to cure the defect, requires no 
stamp. In such case, the second deed 
should contain a recital of the facts, and 
should show the reasons for its execution. 

Partition deeds between tenants in com- 
mon, need not be stamped as conveyances, 
inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but 
merely a marking out, or a defining, of the 
boundaries of the part belonging "to each ; 
but where money or other valnalne consid- 
eration is paid by one co-tenant to aimther 
for equality of partition, there is a sale to 
the extent of such consideration, and the 
conveyance, by the party receiving it, 
should be stamped accordingly. 

A conveyance of lands sold for unpaid 
taxes, issued since August 1, 180(i, by tlie 
officers of any county, town, or other mu- 



STAMP DUTIES. 



39 



Dicipal corporation in tlie discharge of their 
strictly ofacial duties, is exempt from 
stamp tax. 

A conveyance of realty sold, suhject to a 
mortgage, should be stamped according to 
the consideration, or the value of the prop- 
erty unencumbered. The consideration m 
such case is to be found by adding the 
amount paid for the equity of redemption 
to the mortgage debt. The fact that one 
part of the consideration is paid to the 
mortgagor and the other part to the mort- 
gagee does not change the liability of the 
conveyance. 

The stamp tax upon a mortgage is based 
upon the amount it is given to secure. The 
fact that the value of the property mortgag- 
ed is less than that amount, and that conse- 
quently the security is only partial, does 
not change the liability of the instrument. 
When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv- 
en to secure the payment of a sum of mon- 
ey partially secured hy a prior mortgage up- 
on other property, or when two mortgages 
upon separate property are given at the 
same time to secure the payment of the 
sn.me sum, each should be stamped as 
though it were the only one. 

A mortgage given to sectire a surety irom 
loss, or given for any purpose whatever, 
other than as security for the payment of a 
definite and certain sum of money, is taxa- 
able only as an agreement or contract. 

The stamp duty upon a lease, agreement, 
memorandum, or coatract for the hire, use, 
or rent of any land, tenement, or portion 
thereof, is based upon the annual rent or 
rental value of the property leased, and the 
duty is the same whether the lease be for 
one year, for a term of years, or for the 
fractional part of a year only. 

Upon every assignment or transfer of a 
mortgage, a stamp tax is required equal to 
that imposed upon a mortgage for the 
amount remaining unpaid ; this tax is re- 
quired upon every such transfer in writing, 
Vi'hether there is a sale of the mortgage or 
not ; but no stamp is necessary upon the 
endorsement of a negotiable instrument, 
even though the legal effect of such indorse- 
ment is to transfer a mortgage by which 
the instrument is secured. 

An assignment of a lease within the mean- 
ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign- 
ment of the leasehold, or of some portion 
thereof, by the lessee, or by some person 
claiming by, from, or under him ; such an 
assignment as subrogates the assignee to 
the rights, or some portion of the rights, of 
the lessee, or of the person standing in his 
place. A transfer by the lessor of his part 
of a lease, neither giving nor purporting 
to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any 
part thereof, but simply a right to the rents, 
&c., is subject to stamp tax as a contract 
or agreement only. 

The stamp tax upon a fire insurance 
policy is based upon the premiiim. 

Deposit notes taken by a mutual fire in- 
surance company, not as payment of pre- 
mium nor as evidence of indebtedness 
therefor, but to be used simply as a basis 
upon which to make rateable assessments to 
meet the losses incurred by the company. 



should not be reckoned as premium in de- 
termining the amount of stamp taxes upon 
the policies. 

When a policy of insurance properly 
stamped has been issued and lost, no stamp 
is necessary upon another issued by the 
same company to the same party, covering 
the same property, time, &c., and designed 
simply to supply the loss. The second 
policy should recite the loss of the first. 

An instrument which operates as the re- 
newal of a policy of insurance, is subject to 
the same stamp tax as the policy. 

When a policy of insurance is issued for 
a certain time, whether it be for one year 
only or for a term of years, a receipt for 
premium, or any other instrument which 
has the legal effect to continue the contract 
and extend: its operation beyond that time, re- 
quires the same amount of revenue stamps 
as the policy itself; but such a receipt as 
is usually given for the payment of the 
monthly, quarterly, or annual premi^^m, is 
not a renewal within the meaning of the 
statute. The payment simply prevents the 
policy from expiring, by reason of non-per- 
formance of its conditions ; a receipt given 
for such a payment requires a two-cent 
stamp, if the amount received exceeds 
twenty dollars, and a two-cent stamp only. 
When, however, the time of payment has 
passed, and a tender of the premium is not 
sufficient to bind the company, but a new 
policy or a new contract in some form, with 
the mutuality essential to every contract, 
becomes necessary between the insurer and 
the insured, the same amount of stamps 
should be used as that required upon the 
original policy. 

A permit issued by a life insurance com- 
pany changing the terms of a policy as to 
travel, residence, occupation, &c., should 
be stamped as a contract or agreement. 

A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. e., an 
instrument in the form of a promissory 
note, under seal, is subject to stamp duty 
as written or printed evidence of an amount 
of money to be paid on demand or at a 
time designated, at the rate of five cents 
for each one hundred dollars or fractional 
part thereof. 

A waiver of protest, or of demand and 
notice, written upon negotiable paper and 
signed by the indorser, is an agreement, 
and requires a flve-cent stamp. 

A stamp duty of twenty-five cents is im- 
posed upon the "protest of every note, bill 
of exchange, check or draft," and upon 
every marine protest. If several notes, 
bills of exchange, drafts, &c., are protest- 
ed at the same time and all attached to one 
and the same certificate, stamps should be 
aflixed to the amotmt of twenty-five cents 
for each note, bill, draft, &c., thus protest- 
ed. 

When, as is generally the case, the cap- 
tion to a deposition contains other certifi- 
cates in addition to the jurat to the affida- 
vit of the deponent, such as a certificate 
that the parties were or were not notified, 
that they did or did not appear, that they 
did or did not object, &c., it is subject to 
a stamp duty of five cents. 

When an attested copy of a vn-it or other 



40 



STAMP DUTIES. 



process is used by a sheriff or other person 
in making personal service, or in attaching 
property, a five-cent stamp should be affix- 
ed to the certificate of attestation. 

A marriage certificate issued by the offi- 
ciating clergyman or magistrate, to be re- 
turned to any officer of a State, county, city, 
town, or other municipal corporation, to 
constitute part of a public record, requires 
no stamp ; but if it is to be retained by 
the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- 
fixed. 

The stamp tax upon a bill of sale, by 
which any ship or vessel, or any part there- 
of, is conveyed to or vested in any other 
person or persons, is at the same rate as 
that imposed upon conveyances of realty 
sold ; a bill of sale of any other personal 
property should be stamped as a contract 
or agreement. 

An assignment of real.or personal prop- 
erty, or of both, for the benefit of creditors, 
should be stamped as an agreement or con- 
tract. 

Written or printed assignments of agree- 
ments; bonds, notes not negotiable, and 
of all other instruments the assignments 
of which are not particularly specified in 
the foregoing schedule, should be stamped 
as agreements. 

No stamp is necessary upon the registry 
of a judgment, even though the registry is 
such in Its legal effect as to create a lien 
which operates as a mortgage upon the 
property of the judgment debtor. 

When a "power of attorney or proxy for 
voting at any election for officers of any 
incorporated company or society, except 
religious, charitable, or literary societies, 
or public cemeteries," is signed by sever- 
al stockholders, owning separate and dis- 
tinct shares, it is, in its legal effect, the 
separate instrument of each, and requires 
stamps to the amount of ten cents for each 
and every signature; one or more stamps 
may be used representing the whole amount 
required. 



A notice from landlord to tenant to 
quit possession of premises requires no 
stamp. 

A stamp tax is imposed upon every 
"manifest for custom-house entry or clear- 
ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or 
steamer for a foreign port." The amount 
of this tax in each case depends upon the 
registered tonnage of the vessel. 

If a vessel clears in ballast and has no 
cargo whatever, no stamp is necessary; 
but if she has any, however small the amount 
—a stamp should be used. 

A bond to convey real estate requires 
stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. 

The stamp duty upon the probate of a 
will, or upon letters of administration, is 
based upon the sworn or declared value of 
all the estate and effects, real, personal, 
and mixed, undiminished by the debts of 
the estate for or in respect of which such 
probate or letters are applied for. 

When the property belonging to the es- 
tate of a person deceased, lies under dif- 
ferent jurisdictions and it becomes neces- 
sary to take out letters in two or more 
places, the letters should be stamped ac- 
cording to the value of all the property, real, 
personal, and mixed, for or in respect of 
which the particular letters in each case 
are issued. 

Letters de bonis non should be stamped 
according to the amount of property re- 
maining to be administered upon thereun- 
der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- 
inal letters. 

A mere copy of an instrument is not sub- 
ject to stamp duty unless it is a certified 
one, in which case a five-cent stamp should 
be affixed to the certificate of the person 
attesting it • but when the instrument is 
executed and issued in duplicate, triplicate, 
&c., as in the case of a lease of two or more 
parts, each part has the same legal effect as 
the other, and each should be stamped as 
an original.

The recent postal treaty with Great Britain provides that besides letters and newspa- 
pers, "book packets," and '-packets of patterns and samples," may be sent. Such 
packets — 

1. Must contain no writing. 

2. Must be fully prepaid (6 cents per 4 ounces from the U. S. , or 3 pence sterling from 
Great Britain.) 

3. Must be open at the ends to allow inspection. 

Samples of merchandise must not be of intrinsic value. 

Dutiable articles— books, music, &c.", sent from Great Britain to the United States, 
must, in addition to the postage, pay the regular duties, which are— On books and 
engravings, 25 per cent.; music and photographs, 20 per cent. 

If letters or articles sent to Italy are not prepaid, or are insufficiently paid, they will 
be charged with deficient postage, and subject to fine, on arrival at their destination.

RVLE8 FOB DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. 



Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or 
Spurious Bank ISTotes. 



Rule let.— Examine the shading of the 
letters in title of Bank called lathewoek, 
which in genuine notes presents an even, 
straight, light and silky appearance, gen- 
erally so fine and smooth as to appear to be 
all in one solid, pale body. In the counter- 
feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and 
in many of the longer lines breaks will be 
perceived, thus presenting a very inferior 
finish in comparison to genuine work. 

2d.— Observe the dies, circles and ovals 
in the genuine; they are composed of a 
network of lines, which, by crossing each 
other at certain angles, produce an endless 
variety of figures ; see the one cent stamp 
ATTACHED. The fine line alone is the 
unit which enables you to detect spurious 
work. In the counterfeit, the represented 
white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross 
each other in a confused, irregular manner, 
thus producing blurred and imperfect 
figures. 

3d.— Examine the form and features of 
all human figures on the note. In the gen- 
uine, the texture of the skin is represented 
by fine dots and lines intermixed. In the 
eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the 
white clearly seen ; the nose, mouth and 
chin, well formed, natural and expressive ; 
the lips are slightly pouting, and the chin 
well thrown out; andthe delicate shading 
of the neck perfectly harmonizes with the 
rest of the figure. Observe the fingers and 
toes ; they should be clearly and accurately 
defined. The hair of the head should show 
the fine strands and present a natural ap- 
pearance. The folds of the drapery of hu- 
man figures should lay natural and present 
a fine, finished appearance. In the counter- 
feit the female figure does not bear the 
natural prominence in outlines; observe, 
the eyes and shading surrounding does not 
present the lifelike appearance It should. 
The fingers and toes are not properly and 
proportionately defined ; the hair does not 
boar that soft and finished appearance as in 
the genuine. 

4th. — Examine the imprint or engraver's 
names in the evenness and shape of the 



fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the 
imprint perfect. This rule should be strict- 
ly observed, as it is infallible in detecting 
counterfeits. 

5th.— In the genuine note the landscapes 
are well finished • trees and shrubs are 
neatly drawn ; the limbs well proportioned, 
and the foliage presenting a fine natural 
appearance ; clear sky is formed of fine 
parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy 
skies appear, they cross each other, and 
bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- 
ance. The perspective, showing a view of 
the surrounding country, is always clear 
and distinct. The small figures in the 
background are always plainly seen, and 
their outlines and general character re- 
cognized. Ships are well defined and the 
canvass has a clear texture ; railroad cars 
are very accurately delineated ; in examin- 
ing a train observe carefully the car most 
distant. In the counterfeit the landscape 
is usually poorly executed ; the leaves of 
trees poorly and unnaturally defined. — 
The Imes representing still water are 
scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is 
represented generally in like manner, and 
where rolling clouds are to be seen, the 
unnatural efiect is obvious. Domestic 
animals are generally poorly executed, 
particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes 
are seldom clearly defined. Ships are 
poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass 
coarse and inferior in style of workman- 
ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. 
Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the 
car farthest from the eye is usually the 
most imperfect. The perspective is always 
imperfect, the figures in the background 
can seldom be recognized. 

6th.— Bills altered from a smaller to a 
higher denomination, can readily be de- 
tected by a close observer, in consequence 
of the striking difl"erence between the parts 
which have been extracted and the rest of 
the note. This difterence is readily per- 
ceived in the lack of color, body and finish 
of the dye; we have seen bills where the 
surrounding shading in altered dies was 



HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



45 



too dark, but from the back or finish of the 
white lines you have a sure test. Again 
observe particularly the vcords "•Five" or 
" Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot- 
ing the denomination of the note ; the 
parallel outlines and shading (if any) are 
coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- 
quently made by pasting a greater denomi- 
nation over a smaller, l)ut by holding the 
bill up to the light, the fraud vcill be per- 
ceived. Another method resorted to is to 
cut out the figures in the dies as well as 
the words one dollar, or the words two or 
three as the case may be, and with a sharp 
eraser, scrape down the ends and also the 
edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when 
the pieces thus prepared are afiixed they 
are hardly perceivable ; but by passing 
the note through the hand, so as to feel 
the die both with the finger and thumb 
at the same time, the fraud will be de- 
tected by the stiffness of the outer 
edges, " occasioned by the gum or method 
adopted" in affixing the parts. The letter 
S should always be examined, as in many 
alterations it is pasted or stamped at the 
end of the word " dollar ;" and even when 
stamped there, the carrying out of the out- 
lines for its shading will readily show the 
fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent- 
ly altered by extracting the name of bank,, 
state and town ; they may readily be de- 



tected by observing first the state, second 
the title or name of the bank, third the 
town or location. 

General Kemakks rN Eefeeence to 
Counterfeits. — The paper on which they 
are printed is generally of a very inferior 
quality, with less body, finish and tough- 
ness than bank note paper has. The ink 
generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- 
uine ; the red letters and figures are gen- 
erally imperfect, and the ink does not pre- 
sent the Vermillion hue as it should. The 
printing is generally inferior, usually ex- 
hibiting specks of white in the most promi- 
nent letters. The date and filling up, and 
the President's and Cashier's names are 
generally written by the same person, 
although in many instances they present 
a different appearance. There are bills in 
circulation bearing either genuine dies or 
vignettes ; but upon close examination 
you will be enabled to detect any spurious 
bill, whether counterfeit or altered, by the 
instructions here given, if persevered in for 
a short time. We beg to suggest, if time 
will admit, the learner should examine 
minutely every bill he receives. A pow- 
erful pocket magnifying glass, which can 
be purchased for from fifty cents to one dol- 
lar at any of the opticians, will greatly en- 
able you to see and comprehend the difl'er- 
ence between genuine and spurious work 



HOW TO SUCCEED IE BUSINESS. 



What will my readers give to know how 
to get rich ? Now, I will not vouch that 
the following rules will enable every per- 
son who may read them to acquire wealth ; 
but this I will answer for, that if ever a 
man does grow rich by honest means, and 
retains his wealth for any length of time, 
he must practice upon the principles laid 
down in the following essay. The re- 
marks are not original with me, but I 
strongly commend tnem to the attention 
of every young man, at least as affording 
the true secret of success in attaining 
wealth. A single perusal of such an essay 
at an impressible moment, has sometimes 
a very wonderful effect upon the disposi- 
tion and character. 

Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— full 
of her freaks and caprices ; who blindly 
distributes her favors without the slightest 
discrimination. So inconstant, so waver- 
ing is she represented, that her most faith- 
ful votaries can place no reliance on her 
promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 
is the lot of those who make offerings at 



her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander 
upon the dear blind lady. 

Although wealth often appears the result 
of mere accident, or a fortunate concur- 
rence of favorable circumstances without 
any exertion of skill or foresight, yet any 
man of sound health and unimpaired mind 
may become wealthy, if he takes the prop- 
er steps. 

Foremost in the list of requisites are 
honesty and strict integrity in every trans- 
action of life. Let a man have the reputa- 
tion of being fair and upright in his deal- 
ings, and he will possess the confidence of 
all who know him. Without these qualities 
every other merit will prove unavailing. 
Ask concerning a man, " Is he active and 
capable?" Yes. "Industrious, temper- 
ate and regular in his habits f "—Oh yes. 
"Is he honest? Is he trustworthy?" 
Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he 
is not to be trusted ; he needs watching ; 
he is a little tricky, and will take an undue 
advantage, if he can. "Then I will have 
nothing to do vrtth him," will be the in 



46 



BOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the 
best policy ? Because, without it, you will 
get a bad name, and everybody will shun 
you. 

A character for knavery will prove an in- 
surmountable obstacle to success in al- 
most every undertaking. It will be found 
that the straight line is, in business, as in 
geometry, the shortest. In a word, it is 
almost impossible for a dishonest man to 
acquire wealth by a regular process of bus- 
iness, becaitse be is shunned as a depreda- 
tor upon society. 

Needy men are apt to deviate from the 
rule of integrity, under the plea that ne- 
cessity knows no law ; they might as well 
add that it knows no shame. The course 
is suicidal, and by destroying all coniidence, 
ever keeps them immured in poverty, 
although they may possess every other 
quality for success in the world. 

Punctuality, which is said to be the soul 
of business, is another important element 
in the art of money getting. The man 
known to be scrupulously exact in the ful- 
fillment of his engagements, gains the 
confidence of all, and may command all 
the means he can use with advantage ; 
whereas, a man careless and regardless of 
his promises in money matters will have 
every purse closed against him. Therefore 
be prompt in your payments. 

Next, let us consider the advantages of 
a cautious circumspection in our inter- 
course with the world. Slowness of be- 
lief and a proper distrust are essential to 
success. The credulous and confiding are 
ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. 
Ask those who have lost their property 
how it happened, and you will find in 
most cases that it has been owing to mis- 
placed confidence. One has lost by en- 
dorsing, another by crediting, another 
by false representations ; all of which a 
little more foresight and a little more dis- 
trust would have prevented. In the af- 
fairs of this world men are not saved by 
faith, but by the want of it. 

Judge of men by what they do, not by 
what they say. Believe in looks rather 
than words. Observe all their movements. 
Ascertain their motives and their ends. 
Notice what they say or do in their un- 
guarded moments, when under the influ- 
ence of excitement. The passions have 
been compared to tortures which force men 
to reveal their secrets. Before trusting a 
man, before putting it in his power to 
cause you a loss, possess yourself of every 
available information relative to him. 
Learn his history, his habits, inclinations 
and propensities ; his reputation for honor, 
industry, frugality and punctuality; his 
prospects, resources, supports, advantages 
and disadvantages ; his intentions and mo- 
tives of action; who are his friends and 
enemies, and what are his good or bad qual- 
ities. You may learn a man's good qualities 
and advantages from his friends— his bad 
qualities and disadvantages from his ene- 
mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration 
in both. Finally, examine carefully before 
engaging in anything, and act with energy 
afterwards. Have the hundred eyes "of 



Argus beforehand, and the hundred hands 
of Briarius afterwards. 

Order and system in the management of 
business must not be neglected. Nothing 
contributes more to dispatch. Have a 
place for everything and everything in its 
place ; a time for everything, and every- 
thing in its time. Do first what presses 
most, and having determined what is to b 3 
done, and how it is to be done, lose no 
time in doing it. Without this method all 
is hurry and'confusion, little or nothing is 
accomplished, and business is attended to 
with neither pleasure nor profit. 

A polite, aflable deportment is recom- 
mended. Agreeable manners contribute 
powerfully to a man's success. Take two 
men, possessing equal advantages in every 
other respect, but let one be gentlemanly, 
kind, obliging and conciliating in his man- 
ners ; the other harsh, rude and disobligiuj-; 
and the one will become rich, while the 
other will starve. 

We are now to consider a very important 
principle in the business of money-getting, 
namely — Industry — persevering, indefati- 
gable attention to business. Persevering 
diligence is the Philosopher's stone, which 
turns everything to gold. Constant, regu- 
lar, habitual and systematic application to 
business, must in time, if properly directed, 
produce great results. It must lead to 
wealth, with the same certainty that pov- 
erty follows in the train of idleness and 
inattention. It has been truly remarked 
that lie who follows his amusements in- 
stead of his business, will, in a short time, 
have no business to follow. 

The art of money-saving is an important 
part of the art of money-getting. Without 
frugality no one can become rich ; with it, 
few would be poor. Those who consume 
as fast as they produce, are on the road to 
ruin. As most of the poverty we meet 
with grows out of idleness and extrava- 
gance, so most large fortunes have been 
the result of habitual industry and frugali- 
ty. The practice of economy is as neces- 
sary in the expenditure of time as of 
money. They say if " we take care of the 
pence the pounds will take care of them- 
selves." So, if we take care of the 
minutes, the days will take care of them- 
selves. 

The acquisition of wealth demands as 
much self-denial, and as many sacrifices 
of present gratification, as the practice of 
virtue itself Vice and poverty proceed, in 
some degree, from the same sources, 
namely— tne disposition to sacrifice the 
future to the present ; the inability to fore- 
go a small present pleasure for great future 
advantages. Men fail of fortune in this 
world, as they fail of happiness in the 
world to come, simply because they are un- 
willing to deny themselves momentary en- 
jo)'ments for the sake of permanent Inture 
happiness. 

Every large city is filled with pcrsonr-. 
who, in order to support the appearance of 
wealth, constantly live beyond their in- 
come, and make up the deficiency by 
contracting debts wliich are never paid. 
Others, there are, the mere drones of so- 



HOW TO SECUBE THE PUBLIC LANDS. 



47 



ciety, who pass their dayp in idleness, and 
subsist by pirating on the hives of the in- 
dustrious. Many who run a short-lived 
career of splendid beggary, could they be 
but persuaded to adopt a system of rigid 
economy for a few years, nii^ht pass the 
remainder of their daj's in affluence. But 
no ! They must keep up appearances, 
tliey must live like other folks. 

Their debts accumulate; their credit 
fails ; they are harassed by duns, and be- 
sieged by constables and sheriff. In this 
extremity, as a last resort, they submit to 
a shamefiil dependence, or engage in crim- 
inal practices which entail hopeless wretch- 
edness and infamy on themselves and 
families. 



Stick to the business in which you are 
regularly employed. Let speculators make 
thousands in a year or a day ; mind your 
own regular trade, never turning from it 
to the right hand or to the left. If you are 
a merchant, a professional man, or a me- 
chanic, never buy lots 'or stocks, unless 
you have surplus money which you wish 
to invest. Your own business you under- 
stand as well as other men ; but other peo- 
ple's business you do not understand. 
Let your business be some one which is 
useful to the community. All such occu- 
pations possess the elements of profit in 
themselves. 



How to Secure the Public Lands, 

OS THE ENTRY OF THE SAME IINDEE THE PEE-BMPTION AND HOMESTEAD 

LAWS. 



The following circular gives all necessary 
information as to the procedure necessary 
in purchasing and securing the public 
lands : 

Department of the Intebioe, ) 

Gen'l Lai^d Ofi-ice, July 19, 1865. ) 

Numerous questions having arisen as to 
the mode of procedure to purchase public 
lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty 
land locations, by pre-emptions or by home- 
stead, this circular is communicated for the 
information of all concerned. 

In order to acquire title to public lands 
the following steps must be taken : 

1. Application must be made to the Reg- 
ister of the district land office in which the 
land desired may be situated. 

A list of all the land offices in the United 
States is furnished by the Department, 
with the seats of the different offices, 
where it is the duty of the Register and 
Receiver to be in attendance, and give 
proper facilities and information to persons 
desirous of obtaining lands. 

The minimum price of ordinary public 
lands is $1,25 per acre. The even or re- 
served sections falling within railroad 
grants are increased to double the minimum 
price, being $2,50 per acre. 

Lands once offered at public sale, and not 
afterwards kept out of market by reserva- 
tion, or otherwise, so as to prevent free 
competition, may be entered or located. 

2. By the applicant filing with the Regis- 
ter his written application describing the 



tract, with its ai-ea ; the Register will then 
certify to the receiver whether the land is 
vacant, with its price ; and when found to 
be so, the applicant must pay that price 
per acre, or may locate the same with land 
warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will 
give him a "duplicate receipt," which he 
IS required to surrender previous to the 
delivery to him of the patent, which may 
be had either by application for it to the 
Register or to the General Land Office. 

3. If the tract has not been offered at 
public sale it is not liable to ordinary pri- 
vate entry, but may be secured by a party 
legally qualified, upon his compliance with 
the requirements of the pre-emption laws 
of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, 1843; 
and after such party shall have made ac- 
tual settlement for such a length of time 
as will show he design's it for his perma- 
nent home, and is acting' in good faith, 
building a house and residing therein, he 
may proceed to the district land office, es- 
tablish his pre-emption claim according to 
law, by proving his actual residence and 
cultivation, and showing that he is other- 
wise within the purview of these acts.— 
Then he can enter the land at $1,25, either 
in cash or with bounty land warrant, unless 
the premises should be $2,50 acre lands. 
In that case the whole purchase-money can 
be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the 
residue with a bounty land warrant. 

4. But if parties legally qualified desire 
to obtain title under the Homestead Act 
of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com-

plying with, the Department Circular, dated 
30th October, 1862. 

5. The law confines Homestead entries 
to surveyed lands ; and althouj^h, in cer- 
tain States and Territories noted'in the sub- 
joined list, pre-emptors may go on land be- 
fore survey, yet they can only establish their 
claim after return of survey, but must file 
their pre-emption declaration within three 
months after receipt of official plat, at the 
local land-office where the settlement was 
made before survey. Where, however, it 
was made after survey, the claimant must 
file within three months after date of set- 
tlement; and where actual residence and 
cultivation have been long enough to show 



that the claimant has made the land his 
permanent home, he can establish his 
claim and pay for the same at any time 
before the date of the public sale of lands 
within the range in which his settlement 
may fall. 

6. All unoffered surveyed lands not ac- 
qxiired under pre-emption, homestead, or 
otherwise, under express legal sanction, 
must be offered at public sale under the 
President's Proclamation, and struck ofi' to 
the highest bidder, as required by act of 
April 24, 1820.

Commissioner General Land Office. 



LAW MAXIMS. 



1. A promise of a debtor to give " satis- 
factory security" for the pajonent of a por- 
tion of his debt, is a sufficient considera- 
tion for a release of the residue by his 
creditor. 

2. Administrators are liable to account 
for interest on funds in their hands, al- 
though no profit shall have been made 
upon them, unless the exigencies of the 
estate rendered it prudent that they should 
hold the funds thus uninvested. 

3. Any person who voluntarily becomes 
an agent for another, and in that capacity 
obtains information to which as a stranger 
he could have had no access, is bound in 
subsequent dealing with his principal, as 
purchaser of the property that formed the 
sul)ject of his agency, to communicate such 
information. 

4. When a house is rendered untenanta- 
ble in consequence of improvements made 
on the adjoinina; lot, the owner of such 
cannot recover damages, because it is pre- 
sumed that he had knowledge of the ap- 
proaching danger in time to protect him- 
self from it. 

5. Wlien a merchant ship is abandoned

tion ; and this is such a loss of service as

LAW MAXIMS. 



48. If an agreement upon which a party 
relies be oral only, it must be proved by 
evidence. But if the contract be reduced 
to writing, it proves itself; and now no 
evidence whatever is receivable for the 
purpose of varying the contract or affecting 
its obligations. The reasons are obvious. 
The law prefers written to oral evidence, 
from its greater precision and certainty, 
and because it is less open to fraud. And 
whore parties have closed a negotiation 
and reduced the result to writing, it is pre- 
sumed that they have written all they in- 
tended to agree to, and therefore, that what 
is omitted was finally rejected by them.— 
[Parsons. 

49. Delivery of a htisband's goods by a 
wife to her adulterer, he. having knowledge

55. In an action against a railroad com- 
pany, by a passenger, to recover damages 
for injuries sustained on the road, it is not 
compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac- 
tual negligence in the defendants ; but it

prove that the injury was not owing to any 
fault or negligence of theirs. 

5(1. A guestiis a competent witness, in an 
action between himself and an inn-keeper, 
to prove the character and value of lost

part of his baggage ; and in case of its loss, 
while at any inn, the plaintiff may prove its 
amount by his own testimony.

band. 

59. Any contract made with a person ju- 
dicially cleclared a lunatic is void. 

60. Money paid voluntarily in any trans-

73. Confession by s, prisoner must be vol- 
untarily made, to constitute evidence against 
him. 

74. The defendant in a suit must be serv- 
ed with process; but service of such pro- 
cess upon his wife, even in his absence from 
the State, is not, iu the absence of statuto- 
ry provisions, sufficient.

foi' cutting timber, is its value as a ctiattel 
oii the land where it was felled, and not the 
market price of the lumber manufactured.

cious mischief in killing an animal, mal- 
ice towards its owner must be shown, not 
merely passion excited against the animal 
itself.

olitained upon an execution within a reas- 
onable time. He has till the return day to

males at twelve years of age.

of the promisor, is held to be an instru- 
ment in writing for the payment of money. 

8:5. The declaration of an agent is not ad- 
missible to establish the fact of agency. — 
But when other proper evidence fs given, 
tending to establish the fact of agency, it 
is not error to admit the declarations of the 
agent, accompanying acts, though tend- 
ing to show the capacity in which he act- 
ed. When evidence is competent in one 
respect and incompetent in another, it is 
the duty of the court to admit it, and con- 
trol its effects by suitable instructions to 
the jury. 

84. The court has a general power to re- 
move or suspend an attorney for such im- 
moral conduct as rendered him unworthy 
of confidence in his official capacity. 

85. Bankruptcy is pleadable in bar to all

discharge, or a violation of any of the pro- 
visions of the bankrupt act.

close material facts known to each, but of 
which either supposes the other to be igno- 
rant, only when they stand in some special 
relation of trust and confidence in relation 
to the subject matter of the contract. But 
neither will be protected if he does any- 
thing, however slight, to mislead or deceive 
the other. 

90. A contract negotiated by mail is 
formed when notice of acceptance of the of- 
fer is duly deposited in the post-offlce, pro- 
perly addressed. This rule applies, although 
the party making the oft'er expressly re- 
quires that if it 18 accepted, speedy notice 
of acceptance shall be given him. 

91. The date of an instrument is so far a 
material part of it, that an alteration of 
the date by the holder after execution, 
makes the instrument Void. 

9:3. A corporation may maintain an action 
for libel, for words published of them and 
relating to its trade or business, by which 
it has incurred special damages. 

93. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who 
has abandoned his case without trying ' it, 
a term or two before trial, to claim a fee 
conditional upon the success of his client, 
although his client was successfal. 

94. Although a party obtaining damages 
for injuries received through the default of 
another, v.'as himself guilty of negligence, 
yet that will not defeat his recovery, unless 
his negligence contributed to cause the in- 
jury. 

95. A person may contract to labor for an- 
other during life, in consideration of receiv- 
ing his support ; but his creditors have the 
right to inquire into the intention with 
which such arrangement is made, and it will 
be set aside if entered into to deprive them 
of his future earnings. 

96. A grantor may by express terms ex- 
clude the bed of a river, or a highway, 
mentioned as boundary ; but if without 
language of exclusion aline is described as 
' along,' or ' upon,' or as ' running to ' the 
highway or river, or as 'by,' or ' running to 
the bank of the river; these expressions 
carry the grantee to the center of the high- 
way or river. 

97. The court will take pains to construe 
the words used in a deed in such a way as 
to effect the intention of the parties, how- 
ever nnskillfully the instrument may.be 
drawn. But a court of law cannot exchange

be that the word used was used by mistake 
for another. 

98. One who has lost Ms memory and

aration. 

100. Necessaries of dress furnished to .a

101. A fugitive from justice from one of the 
United States to another, may be arrested

general business. 

107. Wbere a purchaser at a Sheriff's sale 
has bid the full price of property under

108. When notice of protest is properly 
sent by mail, it may be sent by the mail of 
the day of the dishonor ; if not, it must be

unseasonably early hour, then notice must 
be mailed in season for the next possible

part of a city, and containing large quanti- 
ties of gunpowder, is a nuisance. 

110. When the seller of goods accepts at 
the time of the sale, the note of a third per- 
son, unindorsed by the purchaser, in pay- 
ment, the presumption is that the pay- 
ment was intended to be absolute ; and 
though the note should be dishonored, the 
purchaser will not be liable for the value of 
the goods. 



111. A man charged with crime before a 
committing magistrate, but discharged on 
his own recognizance, is not privileged 
from arrest on civil process while returning 
from the magistrate's office.

DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

THE DECIMAL SYSTEM 



OP 



WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

is Anfflorized Dy Act of Congress-AjproTel my 28, 1866. 



STANDARDS. 

In every system of Weights and Measures 
it is neeessary to have what are called 
''Standards,'' as the pound, yard, gallon, 
&c., to be divided and multiplied into 
smaller and larger parts and denominations. 
The definition and construction of these 
Standards involve philosophical and scien- 
tific principles of a somewhat abstruse 
character, and are made and procured by 
the legislative department of the govern- 
ment. The nominal Standards in tne new 
system are the Meter, the Are, the Liter, 
and the Gram. The only real Standard, the 
one by which all the other standards are 
measured, and from which the system de- 
rives its name of " Metric," is the Meter. 

THE METER 

Is used for all measures of length, distance, 
breadth, depth, heigh th, &c., and was in- 
tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- 
millionth of the distance on the earth's 
surface from the equator to the pole. It is 
about 39% inches, or 3 feet, 3 inches and 
3 eighths, and is to be substituted for the 
yard. 

THE ARE 

Is a surface whose side is ten Meters, and 
is equal to 100 square Meters or about 4 
square rods. 

THE LITER 

Is the unit for measuring solids and capa- 
ity, and is equal to the contents of a cube 
whose edge is one-tenth of a meter. It is 
about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in 
cubic, dry and liquid measures. 
D 



A cubic Meter (or Kilolite?) is called 
a stere, and is also usedas a standard in cer- 
tain cubic measures. 

THE GRAM 

Is the Unit of weight, and is the weight of 
a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube 
being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is 
about equal to 15^ grains. It is intended 
as the Standard in aU weights, and with its 
divisions and multiples, to supersede the 
use of what are now called Avoirdupois, 
Apothecaries and Troy Weights. 

Each of the foregoing Standards is divi- 
ded decimally, and larger units are also 
formed by multiples of 10, 100, &c. The 
successive subordinate parts are designa- 
ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi and Milli ; 
the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, 
Kilo and Myria ; each having its own nu- 
merical signification, as will De more clear- 
ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. 

The terms used may, at first sight, have 
a formidable appearance, seem difficult to 
pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to 
be, therefore, objectionable; but with a lit- 
tle attention and use, the apprehended dif- 
ficulty will be found more apparent than 
real, as has been abundantly proved by ex- 
perience. The importance, also, of con- 
formity in the use of commercial terms, on 
the i)art of the United States, with the 
practice of the many nations in which the 
system, with its present nomenclature, has 
already been adopted, must greatly over- 
balance the comparatively slight objection 
alluded to.

Discount and Premium. 

When a person buys an article for $1,00 — 
20 per cent off, (or discount,) and sells it 
again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per 
cent, on his investment. Thus : He pays 
80 cents and sells for $1,00— a gain of 20 
cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for 
any transaction where the sale or purchase 
of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, 
the following rules will apply in aU cases. 

Rule 1st.— To find premium when dis- 
count is given : Multiply 100 by rate of 
discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis- 
count. 

Rule 2d. — To find discount when pre- 
mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest 
by 100, and divide by 100, plus the rate of 
premium. 

Suppose A has $140 in currency, which 
he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold 
is 27 per cent, premium, now much gold 
should he receive ? In this case the pre- 
mium is given, consequently we must find 
the discount on A' s currency and subtract 
it from the $140, as per rule 2d, showing 
the discount to be a trifle more than 21 per 
cent, and that he should receive $110.60 in 
gold.

Facts on Advertising. 

The advertisements in an ordinary num- 
ber of the London Times exceed 2,500. The 
annual advertising bills of one London firm 
are said to amount to $200,000 ; and three 
others are mentioned who each annually 
expend for the purpose J.50,000. The ex- 
pense for advertising the eight editions of 
the " Encyclopoedia Britannia" is said to 
have been $15,000. 



In large cities nothing is more common 
than to see large business establishments, 
which seem to have an immense advantage 
over all competitors, by the wealth, expe- 
rience, and prestige they have acquired, 
drop gradually out of public view, and be 
succeeded by firms of a smaller capital, 
more energy, and more determined to have 
the fact that they sell such and such com- 
modities known from one end of the land to 
the other. In other words, the establish- 
ments advertise ; the old die of dignity.— 
The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- 
scurity into publicity; the latter believe 
that their publicity is so obvious that it 
cannot be obscured. The first understand 
that they must thrust themselves upon 
public attention, or be disregarded; the 
second, having once obtained public atten- 
tion, suppose they have arrested it perma- 
nently; while, in fact, nothing is more char- 
acteristic of the world than the ease with 
which it forgets. 

Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder 
business man ever lived, used to say : I 
have always considered advertising liber- 
ally and long to be the great medium of 
success in l)usineBS, and the prelude to 
wealth. And I have made it an invariable 
rule too, to advertise in the dullest times 
as well as the busiest ; long experience 
having taught me that money thus spent is 
well laid out ; as by keeping my business 
continually before the public it has secured 
me many sales that I would otherwise have 
lost.

ISrllllaiit Whitewasb. 

Many have heard of the brilliant stucco 
whitewash on the east end of the Presi- 
dent's house at Washington. The follow- 
ing is a recipe for it ; it is gleaned from the 
National Intelligencer, with some addi- 
tional improvements learned by experi- 
ments : Take half a bushel of nice un- 
slacked lime, slack it with boiling water, 
cover it during the process to keep in the 
steam. Strain the liquid through a fine 
sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of 
salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa- 
ter ; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to 
a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot ; half 
a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and 
a pound of clean glue, which has been pre- 
viously dissolved by soaking it well, and 
then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small 
kettle within a large one filled with water. 
Add five Mllons of hot water to the mixture, 
stir it well, and let it stand a few days cov- 
ered from the dirt. 

It should be put on right hot ; for this 
purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a 
portable furnace. It is said that about a 
pint of this mixture will cover a square 
yard upon the outside of a house if proper- 
ly applied. Brushes more or less small may 
be used according to the neatness of the job 
required. It answers as well as oil paint 
for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. 
It retains its brilliancy for many years. 
There is nothing of the kind that wiU 
compare with it, either for inside or outside 
walls. 

Coloring matter may be put in and made 
of any shade yoa like. Spanish brown 
stirred in will make red pink, more or less 
deep according to the quantity. A delicate 
tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. 
Finelv pulverized common clay, well mixed 
with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone 
color. TeUow-ochre stirred in makes yel- 
low wash, bnt chrome goes further, and 
makes a color generally esteemed prettier. 
In all these cases the darkness of the shades 
of course is determined by the quantity of 
coloring used. It is dilficult to make rules, 
because tastes are different. It would be 
best to try experiments on a shingle and let 
it dry. We have been told that green must 
not be mixed with lime. The lime de- 
stroys the color, and the color has an effect 
on the whitewash, which makes it crack 
and peel. When walls have been badly 
smoked, and you wish to have them a clean 
white, it is well to squeeze indigo plenti- 
fully through a bag into the water you use, 
before it is stirred in the whole mixture. 
If a larger quantity than five gallons be 
wanted, the same proportion should be ob- 
served. 



in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- 
ent of having them. harnessed as though go- 
ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- 
ishment, they were led from th« stable 
without difficulty.

How to get a Horse out of a 
Fire. 

The great difficulty of gettincr horses from 
a stable where surrounding buildings are in 
a state of conflagation, is well known. — 
The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- 
ket will not always succeed. 

A gentleman whose horses have been in 
great peril from such a cause, having tried 



The Cliemical Barometer. 

Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- 
fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put 
into it two and a half drachms of camphor, 
and eleven drachms of spirits of wine ; 
when the camphor is dissolved, which it 
will readily do by slight agitation, add the 
following mixture : Take water, nine 
drachms ; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) 
thirty-eight grains ; and muriate ot am- 
monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. 
Dissolve these salts in the water prior to 
mixing with the camphorated spirit ; then 
shake the whole well together. Cork the 
bottle well, and wax the top, but after- 
wards make a very small aperture in the 
cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may 
then be hung up, or placed in any stationa- 
ry position. By observing the different 
appearances which the materials assume, 
as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- 
cellent progTiosticator of a coming storm or 
ofa sunny sky. 



Sieech Barometer. 

Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it 
three gills of water, and place in it a healthy 
leech, changing the water in summer once 
a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, ' 
and it will most accurately prognosticate 
the weather. If the weather is to be fine, 
the leech lies motionless at the bottom of 
the glass and coiled together in a spiral 
form ; if rain may be expected, it will creep 
up to the top of its lodgings and remain 
there till the weather is settled ; if we are 
to have wind, it will move through its habi- 
tation with amazing swiftness, and seldom 
goes to rest till it begins to blow hard ; if a 
remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to 
succeed, it will lodge for some days before 
almost continually out of the water, and 
discover great uneasiness in violent throes 
and convulsive-like motions ; in frost as in 
clear summer-like weather it lies constantly 
at the bottom ; and in snow as in rainy 
weather it pitches its dwelling in the very 
mouth of the phial. The top should be cov- 
ered over with a piece of muslin. 

To Measube Gkain in a Bin.— Find the 
number of cubic feet, from which deduct 
one-fifth. The remainder is the number of 
bushels — allowing, however, one bushel 
extra to every 224. Thus in a remainder of 
224 there would be 225 'bushels. In a re- 
mainder of 448 there would be 450 bushels, 
&c.

sulphur 1 oz., rosin 3 ozs., pulverize and mis 
well together. (Color with carmine or 
cochhieal, if you like.) Dose—Vfha,t will 
lie on a five cent piece, nig-ht and morning, 
washing the parts freely m cold water once 
or twice a day. This is a remedy of great 
value. 

The cure will be materially hastened by 
taking a table-spoon of' sulphur in a half 
pint of milk, daily, until the cure is affected. 

Sure Cure for Corns, Warts and 
Chilblains. — Take of nitric and muriatic 
acids, blue vitriol and salts of tartar, 1 oz. 
each. Add the blue vitriol, pulverized, to 
either of the acids; add the salts of tartar 
in the same way ; when done foaming, add 
the other acid, and in a few days it will be 
ready for use. For chilblains and corns 
apply it very lightly with a swab, and re- 
peat in a day or two until cured. For warts, 
once a week, until they disappear. 

Hoof- Ail in Sheep. — Mix 2 ozs. each of 
butter of antimony and muriatic acid with 
1 oz. of pulverized white vitriol, and apply 
once or twice a week to the bottom of the 
foot. 

Common Rheumatism. — Kerosene oil 2 
ozs.; neats-foot oil 1 oz.; oil of organum j^ 
oz. Shake when used, and rub and heat in 
twice daily. 

Very Fine Soap, Quickly and Cheap- 
ly Made. — Fourteen pounds of bar soap 
in a half a boiler of hot water ; cut up fine ; 
add three pounds of sal-soda made fine; 
one ounce of pulvi^rized rosin ; stir it often 
till all is dissolved ; just as you take it ofl' 
the fire, put in two table-spoonfuls of spirits 
of turpentine and one of ammonia ; pour it 
in a barrel, and fill up with cold soft water ; 
let it stand three or four days before using. 
It is an excellent soap for washing clothes, 
extracting the dirt readily, and not fading 
colored articles. 



VAL UABLE RECIPES. 



61 



Water Pboop fob Leather. — Take lin- 
seed oil 1 pint, yellow wax and white tur- 
pentine each 2 ozs. Burgundy pitch 1 oz., 
melt and color with lampolack. 

To Keep Cider Sweet. — Put into each 
barrel, immediately after making^ X lb. 
ground mustard, 2 oz. salt and 2 oz. pulver- 
ized chalk. Stir them in a little cider, pour 
them into the barrel, and shake up well. 

Ague Cure.— Procure \}4 table-spoons of 
fresh mandrake root juide, (by pounding) 
and mix with the same quantity of molas- 
ses, and take in three equal doses, 2 hours 
a part, the whole to be taken 1 hour before 
the chill comes on. Take a swallow of 
some good bitters before meals, for a couple 
of weeks after the chills are broken, and the 
cure will be permanent. 

Cure foe Salt Rheum or Scurvt. — 
Take of the pokeweed, any time in sum- 
mer ; pound it ; press out the juice ; strain 
it into a pewter dish; set it in the sun till it 
becomes a salve — then put it into an earth- 
en mug : add to it fresh water and bees' 
wax sufficient to make an ointment of com- 
mon consistency ; simmer the whole over 
a fire till thoroughly mixed. When cold, 
rub the part affected. The patient will al- 
most immediately experience its good ef- 
fects, and the most obstinate cases will be 
cured in three or four months. Tested. — 
The juice of the ripe berries may be pre- 
pa red in the same way. 

Superior Paint— for Brick Houses.— 
To lime whitewash, add for a fastener, sul- 
phate of zinc, and shade with any color you 
choose, as yellow ochre, Venetian red, etc. 
It outlasts oil paint. 



Felons.— Stir 1 oz. of Venice turpentine 
with X tea-spoonful of water, till it looks 
like candied honey, and apply by spreading 
upon cloth and wrapping around the finger. 
If not too long delayed will cure in 6 hours. 

A poke root poultice is also said to be a 
sure remedy. 

Water-Proof Blacking and Harness 
Polish.- Take two and a half ounces gum 
shellac and half a pint of alcohol, and set 
in a warm place until dissolved; then add 
two and a half ounces Venice turpentine 
to nentralize the alcohol; addatablespoon- 
ful of lampblack. Apply with a fine sponge. 
It will give a good polish over oil or grease. 

MosQUiTOS.— To get rid of these tormen- 
tors, take a few hot coals on a shovel, or a 
chafing dish, and burn upon them some 
brown sugar in your bed-rooms and parlors, 
and you effectually banish or destroy every 
mosquito for the night. 

Cheap Outside Paint.— Take two parts 
(in bulk) of water lime ground fine, one part 
(in bulk) of white lead ground in oil. Mix 
them thoroughly, by adding best boiled lin- 
seed oil, enough to prepare it to pass through 
a paint mill, after which temper with oil 
tin it can be applied with a common paint 
brush. Make any color to suit. It will last 
three times as long as lead paint, and cost 
not one-fourth as much. It is Superior. 

Cure for a Cough. — A strong decoction 
of the leaves of the pine, sweetened with 
loaf sugar. Take a wine-glass warm on go- 
ing to bed, and half an hour before eating 
three times a day. The above is sold as a 
cough syrup, and is doing wonderful cures, 
and it is sold at a great profit to the manu- 
facturers. 



MoTV^ to Judge a Horse. 

A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, 
undertakes to judge the character of ahorse 
by outward appearances, and offers the fol- 
lowing suggestions, the result of his close 
observation and long experience : 

If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut, 
his feet, legs and face white, these are 
marks of kindness. If he is broad and full 
between the eyes, he may be depended on 
as a horse of good sense, and capable of be- 
ing trained to anything. 

As respects such horseSi, the more kindly 
you treat them the better you will be treat- 
ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- 
scription stand a whip, if well fed. 

If you want a safe horse, avoid one that 
is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as 
not to scare ; but he will have too much go- 
ahead in him to be safe with everybody. 

If you want a fool, but a horse of great 
bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white 
hair about him. If his face is a little dish- 
ed, so much the worse. Let no man ride 
such a horse that is not an adept in riding 
^they are always tricky and unsafe. 



If you want one that will never give out, 
never buy a large, overgrown one. 

A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a 
white one cold. 

If you want a gentle horse, get one with 
more or less white about the head ; the 
more the better. Many persons suppose 
the parti-colored horses belonging to the 
circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their 
oddity. But the selections thus made are 
on account of their great docility and gen- 
tleness. 



Measurement of Hay in tlie 
Mow or Stack, — It is often desirably., 

where conveniences for weighing are not at 
hand, to purchase and sell hay by measure- 
ment. It is evident that no fixed rule will 
answer in all cases, as it would require 
more cubic feet at the top of a miw than at 
the bottom. The general rule adopted by 
those who have tested it, is that a cube, 
each side of which shall measure eight feet, 
oi solid Timothy hay, as taken from mow or 
bottom of stack will weigh a ton. The 
rule may be varied for upper part of mow 
or stack according to pressure.

RENSSELAER COUNTY. 63 



RENSSELAER COUNTY. 



-♦♦- 



THIS COUJS'TY was formed from Albany, February 7, 
1791, and named in honor of the Rensselaer family. It included 
the principal part of Rensselaerwyck, upon the east side of the 
river. It is centrally distant twelve miles from Albany, and 
contains an area of 690 square miles. The surface is very broken 
and hilly. It is traversed by two distinct ranges of mountains, 
extending north and south, known as the Taghkanick and 
Petersburgh Mountains. The former occupies the extreme east 
border of the County, and is divided from the latter by the long 
deep valley through which flow Kinderhook Creek and Little 
Hoosick and Hoosick Elvers. These mountains are wild, rugged 
and rocky, rising to a hight of from 1000 to 2000 feet, above 
tide, and affording a great variety of wild and picturesque scen- 
ery. Their declivities are usually precipitous and their summits 
are covered with forests or masses of naked rocks. These moun- 
tains are composed of the slate, quartz, sandstone and limestone 
that constitute the Taconic rocks of Professor Emmons. The 
quartz exists in the form of veins of injection, and in some 
places the slate has been washed away, leaving the quartz in the 
form of sharn pointed rocks or of isolated masses. The soil 
upon the summits and sides of the mountains is generally thin 
and poor, but in the valleys it Consists of gravelly loam, and is 
moderately fertile. The Petersburgh Mountains occupy the 
whole central part of the County. They are wild, irregular 
and broken masses, with precipitous sides on the east, but with 
more gradual declivities on the west. In some places the sum- 
mits spread out over a wide surface, constituting a wide sterile 
plateau, broken by hills and rocks. These mountains are com- 
posed of the graywacke slates and limestone belonging to the 
Hudson Eiver group. An extensive tract is still covered with for- 
ests. The soil is generally hard and sterile, consisting of a stiff 
clay and disintegrated slate, underlaid to a considerable extent 
by hardpan. Hudson River forms the western boundary of the 
County. Along its bank is a flat, varying from a few rods to 
half a mile in width, and bounded by a series of bluffs from 100 



64 



BENSSELAEE COUNTY. 



to 200 feet in hight. From the summits of these bluffs the sur- 
face is a broken and hilly upland. This region is composed of 
the drift deposits, mixed with disintegrated slates, clay and sand 
predominating in different places. Little Hoosick and Hoosick 
Elvers and Kinderhook Creek flow through the valley in the 
eastern part of the County. The summit level in this valley, 
between the waters flowing north and those flowing south, at 
South Berlin, is 600 feet above tide. The streams flowing from 
the Petersburgh Mountains westward, to the Hudson, have worn 
deep ravines through the clay bluffs, forming lateral valleys 
which extend eastward from the valley of the Hudson. Numer- 
ous small lakes and ponds are interspersed in the wild rocky 
region of the Petersburgh Mountains, forming one of the most 
beautiful features of the landscape. Several mineral springs 
are found in the County. 

The narrow flats along the streams, and a large portion of the 
uplands, are adapted to grain, and produce excellent crops, but 
the soil generally is better adapted to grazing and dairying, es- 
pecially in the eastern towns, where these occupations form the 
leading pursuits. Manufactures are extensively carried on at 
Troy and in the Hoosick Valley, and commerce has received 
considerable attention at Troy. 

The principal works of internal improvement in the County 
are the Hudson Eiver E. R, and Troy & Greenbush E. E., its 
continuation to Troy ; Boston & Albany E. E., extending south- 
east through East Greenbush and Schodack ; Troy & Boston 
E. E.,extending north-east through Lansingburgh, Schaghticoke, 
Pittstown, Hoosick, and a corner of Petersburgh, to the Ver- 
mont line; Lebanon Springs E. E., connecting Chatham Four 
Corners and Bennington, Vt., extending through Stephentown, 
Berlin and Petersburgh ; the Eensselaer & Saratoga E. E., con- 
necting Troy and Saratoga Springs, and a branch of the New 
York Central, connecting Troy and Schenectady. The last 
named roads cross the river at Troy on a substantial bridge, 1600 
feet in length, used for carriages as well as railroads. The can- 
als open into the Hudson opposite Troy, and steamboats ply be- 
tween this city and New York.

erection of a Court House and Jail, to be built Under the direc- 
tion of Cornelius Lansing, Jacob 0. Schermerhorn, Abraham 
Ten Eyck, Mahlon Taylor and Jacob Vanderheyden, who, with 
others, had pledged £1,000 for that purpose. In 1794 an ad- 
ditional sum of £800 was granted. In 1797, $5,500 were 
granted, and in 1798 a further sum of 1500. The present 
Court House stands at the corner of Congress and Second 
streets. It was built at the joint expense of the city and Coun- 
ty, and contains the court room and county and city offices. 
This building was commenced in 1828 and completed in 1831. 
It is in the Grecian style of architecture with massive pillars 
in front. The material is Sing Sing marble. It occupies the 
same site as the first one, which was of brick. The Jail is lo- 
cated at the corner of Fifth and Ferry streets. 

The first County officers were Anthony Ten Eyck, Judge ; 
Moss Kent, Sitrrogate ; Nicholas Schuyler, Clerk ; and Albert 
Pawling, Sheriff. 

The County Poor House is located on a farm of 146 acres, 
about two miles from the central part of the city and is val- 
ued at 183,000. The main building is of brick, two stories 
high and 150 by 40 feet on the ground, and is occupied by the 
Keeper and the better class of female paupers. A wing of the 
same hight and similar material, 30 by 40 feet, extending to the 
rear, is used as a school room and hospital. A wood structure, 
one story in hight and 100 by 28 feet on the ground, is occupied 
exclusively by the men. Religious services are held in the 
house on the Sabbath, and a Sunday School is maintained un- 
der the direction of the Sisters of Charity of Troy. 

The Lunatic Asylum is situated at the rear of the main 
building ; it is constructed of brick, three stories high, and 60 
by 30 feet on the ground. 

The greater part of the County was included in Rensselaer- 
wyck, a territory granted in 1629 to Killian Van Rensselaer, a 
pearl merchant of Amsterdam. The charter was granted by the 
Dutch West India Company, and conferred upon him privileges 
similar to those enjoyed by the feudal barons of Europe. The 
territory included lands on both sides of the river, extending 
about twenty-four miles north and soutli, and forty-eight east 
and west. By the terms of the charter the Colony must con- 
tain at least fifty persons over fifteen years of age, within four 
years, one-fourth of whom must be located Avithin the first 
year. A ship load of emigrants was forwarded in 1630, and 
others in each of several succeeding years. The first settlers 
were supplied with stock, seeds and farming utensils, and the 
land Avas leased at an annual rent, payable in grain, beeves and 
wampum, or a share of the products of the land. The proprie-

tor was styled Patroon, and in him was vested authority in civil 
and military affairs, subordinate only to the Dutch West India 
Company and the States General of Holland. He had his forts, 
soldiers, cannon and courts of justice, and had power to try all 
causes and inflict punishment even to death, though in case a 
gallows broke down during an execution he was not allowed to 
erect another for the same criminal. The laws allowed an ap- 
peal from the decisions of the local courts, but the Patroon re- 
quired every person who settled within his jurisdiction to 
pledge himself never to exercise this right. At the close of 
harvest the farmers were required to hand to the Patroon an ac- 
count of the amount of grain, stock and other articles which 
they might have for sale. If the Patroon did not wish to pur- 
chase they could seek a market elsewhere. The settlers were 
required to go to the Patroon's mill for their grinding, and he in 
turn was required to keep the mill in repair. If any real estate 
was for sale, the Patroon must have the first offer to purchase ; 
and if any person died intestate he claimed all property of the 
deceased. No person was allowed to hunt or fish without the 
permission of the Patroon. 

In 1642 Rev. Johannes Megapolensis was sent out " to dis- 
seminate the light of the gospel among Christians and heathen 
in the Colonic, to preach God's word there, to administer the 
holy sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, to set an 
example in a christian like manner by public precept, to ordain 
elders and deacons, to keep and govern by and with the advice 
and assistance of the same, God's Congregation in good disci- 
pline and order, according to God's Holy Word and in confor- 
mity with the government, confession and catechism of the 
Netherland Church and Synod acts of Dordrecht." He was to 
receive a free passage to this country, and board for his family, 
consisting of a wife and four children ; an outfit of 300 guilders, 
and an annual salary for the first three years of 1,100 guilders, 
thirty schepels of wheat and two firkins of butter, or sixty guild- 
ers in cash. The salary was to be increased 200 guilders per 
year, for the next three years, and a pension of 100 guilders 
to his wife in case of his decease. 

A ferry was established across the river in 1642, near the 
mouth of Beaver's Kill. 

The winter of 1646-7 was unusually severe ; the river was 
closed Nov. 25, and remained so for four months. In the spring 
a great freshet occurred, and "A certain fish of considerable 
size, snow white in color, round in the body and blowing water 
out of his head," made his appearance in the river. What 
the omen was "God, the Lord only knew." Soon after, another

monster, forty feet long, with fins on his back, and ejecting 
water lilce the other, appeared, and was pronounced by those 
competent to decide, to be a whale. It grounded on an island 
near the mouth of the Mohawk. The people turned out in 
great numbers to secure the prize. Large quantities of blubber 
were obtained, but the river was covered with oil for three 
weeks, and the stench of the decaying animal extended for miles 
around. Such is in substance the account given of the affair 
by the early settlers. 

In 1653 the authorities of the Colony purchased an addi- 
tional tract of land, embracing the north part of the County 
and the present site of Troy. 

In 1652 Gerrit Swart was commissioned as a Schout of Eens- 
selaerwyck, and sent over to perform the duties of his office. 
His commission says " He shall use for his dwelling the house 
formerly used by the former preacher, situated in Greenbush 
and there reside with his family, and exercise and discharge 
his aforesaid office with all diligence and fidelity according to 
the ilaws, edicts and ordinances already or to be enacted there." 
The following instructions were received by him on his depar- 
ture : ■'' Having arrived with God's help at the island of Man- 
hattan, he shall proceed by the first opportunity to the Colonie 
and report himself to Jan Baptist Van Eeusselaer and make 
known unto him his quality by exhibition of his commission 
and instructions. He shall above all things take care that Di- 
vine worship shall be maintained in said Colonie, conformably 
to the Reformed Religion of this Country, as the same is pub- 
licly taught in these United Provinces. He shall in like man- 
ner pay attention that the Lord's Day, the Sabbath of the New 
Testament be properly respected both by the observance of 
hearing the Holy Word as well as the preventing all unneces- 
sary and daily labor on said day. And whereas it is a scandal 
that the Christians should mingle themselves unlawfully with 
the wives or daughters of the heathen, the officer shall labor to 
put in execution the placards and ordinances enacted or to be 
enacted against the same and strictly exact the fines im])osed 
hereby without any dissimulation." 

By the surrender of the Colony to the English in 1664, the 
personal rights of the colonists were secured, and a new char- 
ter was granted to the Patroon, restricting his civil power but 
confirming the relations existing between landlord and tenant. 
By laws enacted a few years subsequent to the close of the Rev- 
olution, the feudal tenure was abolished, but the proprietors of 
manor grants were unwilling to give up their feudal claims, and 
continued a form of deed by which the grantees agreed to per- 
form certain duties and make certain payments, precisely simi- 



RENSSELAER COVNTY.

lar to those abolished by the laws. The people who had settled 
upon these manors had long been dissatisfied and restive under 
the feudal exactions. The Patroon had by his indulgence se- 
cured their regard, and at his death, in 1839, there was great 
solicitude as to the course that would be pursued by his suc- 
cessors. By his will he gave the western part of his manor to 
his son Stephen^ and the eastern part to his son William P. Van 
Eensselaer. The " Quarter Sales," by virtue of which thei^nd- 
lord claimed a part of the purchase money on the transrer of 
every lease, were particulary obnoxious. The tenants about this 
time began to consult together to devise some plan to throw 
off the burden. Associations were formed and delegates ap- 
pointed to meet and deliberate for the general welfare. These 
local societies soon became known as Anti-rent Associations, 
and the feeling became so strong as to manifest itself m open 
resistance to the legal processes for collecting the rents. A se- 
cret organization was formed extending through several coun- 
ties. This organization was composed of men who were pledged 
to appear in disguise, armed and ready to protect the tenants 
from arrest and guard their property from execution. When- 
ever the Sheriff appeared in one of the disaffected towns, a troop 
of men in fantastic calico dresses with faces masked or painted to 
resemble Indians, armed with guns, pistols, swords, tomahawks, 
&c., and generally on horseback, would gather around him or 
hover near and warn him by threats to desist from the service 
of any process. In 1844-5, in Rensselaer and other counties, 
large numbers of men were accustomed to meet thus disguised 
to listen to speeches and pass resolutions. The leaders assumed 
the names of distinguished Indian warriors, and the highways 
became familiar with their antics and whoops. Under such 
circumstances a conflict between them and the authorities be- 
came inevitable. In some instances the military were called out 
to aid in enforcing the law. Citizens who disapproved of their 
conduct were subjected to insult in the streets and at their 
homes. Bad men, under cover of the disguise, took occasion to 
gratify their passions and to seek redress for private grievances. 
A conflict which occurred in the town of Grafton awakened 
general attention. A troop of these men, disguised as Indians 
and riding along the highway, met a man named Smith, driv- 
ing a team with a load of wood. He had been outspoken in 
his condemnation of the course of the Anti-renters; a conflict 
ensued, and Smith raised his ax to strike one of the assailants, 
when a pistol shot from an unknown hand prostrated him upon 
the ground, where he died in a few minutes. The men soon 
dispersed. A legal investigation, at which more than two, hun- 
dred persons were examined, failed to disclose the perpetrator of 



74 REN8SELA1SB COUNTY. 



the murder. In the town of Nassau, the Sheriff had been openly 
resisted and the military had been called out to aid in the exe- 
cution of the law. A rude system of telegraphing existed in 
the towns, and gave warning of the approach of an officer, 
when from all parts disguised men came flocking in. The Leg- 
islature of 1844 passed a law against men appearing in disguise, 
armed, and imposed serere penalties upon the violators. The 
intense feeling at length manifested itself in political action in 
1846, when Governor Young was elected over Silas Wright, on 
account of his being the candidate of the Anti-renters. The 
Constitution of 1846 abolished all feudal tenures and incidents, 
and provided that no lease or grant of agricultural lands for a 
longer period than twelve years, in which shall be reserved any 
rent or service of any kind, shall be valid. Since that time a 
considerable portion of the leased land has been conveyed in fee. 

During the French War the north border of the County was 
repeatedly ravaged by the enemy and thfe settlements broken 
up. A long and spirited controversy between the authorities 
of New York and New Hampshire was carried on, respecting 
the territory embraced in the present State of Vermont. This 
territory was claimed by New Hampshire by virtue of a royal 
charter, and settlements were made under authority of the Gov- 
ernor of that Colony previous to the Eevolutionary War. These 
settlers had purchased their land in good faith and commenced 
the usual improvements, the territory being designated as the 
New Hampshire Grants. The Governor of New York subse- 
quently set up a claim to this territory, and issued grants and 
authorized a re-survey, thereby dispossessing the first settlers. 
The sturdy pioneers were not disposed to submit to such treat- 
ment and organized for the defense of their homes and their 
rights. The leaders of these pioneers were Ethan Allen, Seth 
Warner, Eemember Baker and others, who were usually spo- 
ken of by the New York authorities as the " Bennington Mob." 
The Walloomsac Patent of 12,000 acres, lying partly in Eensse- 
laer, partly in Washington County and partly in Vermont, was 
the theater of much contention between the New York authori- 
ties and the New Hampshire Grants. The following procla- 
mation from " Documentary History of New York," explains 
itself.

Province, entitled, 'An act for the more effectual collecting his

Majesty's Quit-Eents in the Colony of New York, and for the 
partition of lands in order therefor ; Commissioners and a Sur- 
veyor were lately appointed to make partition of certain lots, 
parcel of a larger tract of land situate on the east side of Hud- 
son's River, in the County of Albany, called Wallumschack, 
granted to James DeLancey, Gerardus Stuyvesandt, Esquires, 
and others by Letters Patent under the great Seal of said 
Province, bearing date, the 15th day of July, one thousand 
seven hundred and thirty-nine ; and the said Commissioners, 
in the execution of their duty, being employed in surveying 
the said lots of land, were, on the nineteenth day of October 
last past, interrupted and opposed by a number of armed men, 
tumultuously and riotously assembled, for the declared purpose 
of preventing the said partition, who by- open force, compelled 
the Commissioners' Surveyor to desist from the said survey, and 
by insults and menaces, so intimidated the said Commission- 
ers, that, apprehensive for the safety of their persons, they 
found it necessary to relinquish any further attempt to perform 
the trust so reposed in them, by which violent and disorderly 
proceedings, the said rioters in contempt of the law and in de- 
fiance of the authority of this Covernment, have not only 
broken the King's peace and set a dangerous example to others, 
but have defeated the operation of the said act in the division 
of the land aforesaid. And it appearing by sufiicient evidence 
that James Breackenridge, Jedediah Due, Samuel Robinson, Na- 
thaniel Homer, Henry Walbridge and Moses Robinson, all of 
the said County of Albany, yeomen, were among the priucipal 
authors of and actors in the said riot and breach of the peace. 
In order therefore to bring the said offenders to condign pun- 
ishment, and that others warned by their example may be de- 
terred from the commission of such dangerous practices for the 
future, I have thought fit, by and with the advice of his Maj- 
esty's Council to issue this Proclamation,Jiereby strictly com- 
manding and requiring the Sheriff of the City and County of 
Albany to apprehend and take all, and every, the before-named 
rioters and offenders, and them to commit to safe and secure 
custody to answer for their several offences, and to be dealt with 
according to law. And for that purpose if it shall be necessary 
to raise and take to his assistance the posse comitatus or whole 
power of the County ; and all magistrates' officers and minis- 
ters of justice are hereby enjoined and required to give their 
aid and assistance not only in apprehending the said several of- 
fenders and committing them to safe custody, but in preventing 
and suppressing all future riots and disorders of the like danger- 
ous tendency. Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Fort

James Breakenridge owned a farm on the Walloomsac Pat- 
ent, which was situated in the town of Bennington, near the 
line of Hoosick. In July 1771, Henry Ten Eyck, the SheriflF 
of Albany County, summoned a posse, numbering 200 or 300 
of the principal citizens of the city and started to take posses- 
sion of Breakenridge's farm, held under a grant from New 
Hampshire. The first day they proceeded to Sancoik, near 
North Hoosick, where they remained over night. The citizens 
had received warning of their approach and had assembled, re- 
solved to defend the rights of their neighbor. When the Sher- 
iff's posse arrived at what is now known as the Henry Bridge, 
they were stopped by a small guard placed there for that pur- 
pose, while a larger number were concealed a little distance, 
awaiting further developments. After a short parley, the May- 
or of Albany and a few of the most distinguished of the com- 
pany, were allowed to proceed to the house of Breakenridge, 
which they found barricaded, loop-holed and guarded by about 
twenty armed men. The Sheriff on being refused admittance 
caused the writ of possession to be read, but no attention Avas 
paid to it. A large part of the Sheriff's posse, seeing that they 
had a resolute band of men to contend with and that peaceable 
possession could not be gained, thought discretion the better 
part of valor, and all finally retreated without any shedding of 
blood. , Affidavits of several of the party are found in " Docu- 
mentary History of New York," Vol. 4, among which is that of 
John E. Bleecker, who says he had " great reason to think that 
if the Sheriff had attempted to break open the said house he 
would have been in the utmost danger of losing his life, and 
all those that would have assisted him in the attempt." 

Among the outrages committed by the Bennington Mob, it 
was alleged that they had " seized, insulted and terrified Mag- 
istrates and other civil officers, so that they dare not execute 
their respective functions ; rescued prisoners for debt, assumed 
to themselves military commands and judicial powers ; burned 
and demolished the houses and property and beat and abused 
the persons of many of his Majesty's subjects, expelled them 
from their possessions, and put a period to the administration of 



RENSSELAER COUNTY. 77 

justice, and spread terror and destruction throughout that part 
of the country which is exposed to their oppression." In consid- 
eration of these outrages and the recommendation of the As- 
sembly of the State of New York, the Governor says: "I have 
therefore thought fit with the advice of his Majesty's Council 
to issue this Proclamation hereby strictly enjoining and com- 
manding all Magistrates, Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs and 
other civil officers of the Counties of Albany and Charlotte to 
apprehend and take the before named Ethan Allen, late of 
Bennington in the County of Albany, yeoman, Seth Warner 
late of the same place, yeoman. Remember Baker, late of Ar- 
lington in said County, yeoman, Robert Cochran, late of Rupert 
in the County of Charlotte, yeoman, Peter Sunderland, late of 
Socialborough in the said County, yeoman. Sylvanus Brown, 
late of the same place, yeoman, James Breakenridge, late of 
Wallumschaick in the County of Albany, yeoman, and John 
Smith, late of Socialborough in the said County of Charlotte, 
yeoman, and them to commit to safe and secure custody in the 
Gaol of the City and County of Albany to answer for the sev- 
eral offenses and to be dealt with according to law." The Gov- 
ernor, in this Proclamation, offers a reward of " one hundred 
pounds for apprehending each of them the said Ethan Allen 
and Remember Baker, and the sum of fifty pounds for appre- 
hending each and every one of them the said Seth Warner, 
Robert Cochran, Peleg Sunderland, Sylvanus Brown, James 
Breakenridge and John Smith to be paid to the person or per- 
sons who shall take and secure the said offenders that they may 
be proceeded against as the law directs." The Proclamation 
was dated March 9, 1774. After a long and exciting contest, 
the difficulties were settled by the organization of Vermont as 
an independent State, with the boundaries as they now exist. 

Upon the approach of Burgoyne's army in 1777, the Ameri- 
can families hastily fled, with such property as could be easily 
removed, leaving houses and farms to be plundered by the 
British. Scouting parties of the enemy penetrated as far south 
as Lansingburgh. The Battle of Bennington was fought in the 
town of Hoosick, August 16, 1777, and is described in connec- 
tion with the history of that town. Erom this time the cause 
of the Colonies began to grow brighter, the timid were embold- 
ened, the secretly dissatisfied over-awed, and great numbers, 
before undecided, now committed their fortunes to the cause 
of freedom. The proprietor of the Manor of Rensselaerwyck 
extended every possible assistance to the distressed families 
flying before the invaders, proving to them a sincere friend in 
their hour of need. 



78 RENSSELAER COUNTY. 



Rensselaer County Agricultural and Manufacturers Association 
owns Fair Grounds in the north part of the city, near Lansing- 
burgh. Substantial buildings have been erected and Fairs are 
held annually. A few weeks after the close of the last annual 
exhibition, Floral Hall was destroyed by fire, the society sus- 
taining a loss of about $1,000. The officers of the society are : 
John E. Fonda, Troy, President ; D. E. Davenport, Lansing- 
burg, E. Waters, Troy, John Grreen, Schodack, George M. Tay- 
lor, Troy, Andrew B. Knowlson, Sand Lake, Vice Presidents ; 
S. K. Stowe, Troy, Secretary ; G. A. Waters, Troy, Treasurer. 

Rensselaer County Medical Society was organized July 1, 1806. 
Dr. Benjamin Woodward was chosen President ; John Loudon, 
Vice President; Samuel Gale, Treasurer ; L M.Wells, Secretary; 
and Ely Burritt, Moses Willard, Hezekiah Eldridge, David 
Doolittle, Benjamin Eowe, Censors. The annual meetings of 
the Society are held the second Tuesday in January, and quar- 
terly meetings are held the second Tuesday in April, July and 
October. 

The Rensselaer Cotmty Homoeopathic Society hold their annual 
meeting the third Tuesday in October, and their semi-annual 
meeting the third Tuesday in June. 

From the Bureau of Military Eecord of the State, we learn 
that Eensselaer County and the City of Troy were among the 
first to respond to the demands of patriotism when the attack 
upon Fort Sumter was announced. On Monday, April 15th, 
a call for a meeting to be held in the evening, was issued, signed 
by men of all parties, and though the largest hall in the city 
had been engaged for the purpose, it was found to be too small 
to accommodate the vast multitude in attendance, and an ad- 
journment was made to the great Union Depot, where full five 
thousand people assembled. Hon. John A. Griswold presided, 
assisted by many other prominent gentlemen as vice-presidents 
and secretaries. A series of resolutions condemning the out- 
rage and pledging the people of Troy to a united support of the 
Government, were adopted ; and eloquent addresses were made 
by the president and other gentlemen present. The meeting 
adjourned by forming a procession and marching to the resi- 
dence of Maj. Gen. John E. Wool, where the veteran patriot 
made an eloquent and patriotic speech. The formation of a 
regiment was immediately commenced and resulted in the Sec- 
ond Eegiment New York Volunteers, which was mustered into 
the United States service May 14, for the term of two years. 
Col. J. B. Carr, afterwards Maj. General, commanding the Eegi- 
ment ; Lieut. Col., E. Wells Kenyon ; Major, Eichard D. Bloss. 
The Eegiment left their camp in Troy, May 18th, and arrived 



BENSSELAEB COUNTY. 79 

at Fortress Monroe on the 24th. The regiment was on duty in 
the vicinity of Portress Monroe, taking part in the battles and 
skirmishes of that section during the first year's service. The 
response so nobly made at first, was followed up by equally pa- 
triotic efforts in the County until the close of the war. The 
City of Troy and the County of Eensselaer have nothing to 
fear from comparison with other parts of the State as regards 
men and means contributed to the support of the Government 
during its struggle to suppress the Great Rebellion. We have 
no means at hand of determining the number of men who en- 
listed from this County, nor have we the space to follow the 
regiments in their several campaigns during that memorable 
four years of blood and carnage. A simple reference to the 
part taken is all that can be given in a work like this. Though 
the deeds of the brave " boys in blue " may never all be writ- 
ten, their memory will ever be fresh in the hearts of every 
patriot. The avenger of Jackson, the murderer of the gallant 
Ellsworth, was a Trojan.

S.'EIILIW was formed from Petersburg!!, Schodack and 
Sfcephentown, March 21, 1806. A part of Sand Lake was taken 
off in 1813. It lies near the center of the east border of the 
County. The surface consists chiefly of- two ranges of moun- 
tains, separated by a narrow valley extending north, and south. 
The hilly region is very Avild and broken, and the declivities 
are generally steep and often precipitous. The principal 
streams are Kinderhook Creek, flowing south, and Little Hoo- 
sick River, flowing north. The head waters of these two streams 
are but a few rods aj)art, near South Berlin. In the west part 
of the town are several fine lakes surrounded by the forests. 
The soil in the valley is a gravelly loam, but among the moun- 
tains it is a hard sterile clay, intermixed or covered with frag- 
ments of rock. 

Berlin, (p. v.) situated on Little Hoosick River, contains 
about 300 inhabitants. 

South Berlin, (p. v.) in the south part, and 

Center Berlin, (p. v.) near the center of the town, are both lo- 
cated in the valley of Little Hoosick. 

Godfrey Brimmer located near North Berlin in 1765. Among 
the early settlers were Reuben Bonesteel anel a family named 
Richer, who came in soon after Mr. Brimmer. In 1769 Peter 
Simmons and Jacob 0. Cropsey lived at the Hollow, and in the 
same year Daniel Hull and Joseph Green came into town. Col. 
Bentley settled near North Berlin, and Thomas Sweet, a black- 
smith, at South Berlin. 

Daniel Hull kept the first tavern previous to the Revolution, 
arid liezekiah Hull opened an inn soon after the war. Caleb 
Bently erected the first grist mill, in 1780. Dr. John Forbes, the 
first physician, located at South Berlin in 1775. 

Soon after the Battle of Lexington, two companies were 
formed in this and adjoining towns, a part of whom were sta- 
tioned at D. Hull's for local protection ; the others were en- 
gaged in active service.

James Green, a son of Joseph Green, one of the early settlers, 
died in 1857 at the age of one hundred years. 

The first clinrch (Seventh Day Bap.) was formed at North Ber- 
lin in Dec. 1780. Kev. William Coon was the first preacher. 

During the winter of 1845 Berlin was the scene of a most 
cold blooded and cruel murder. The murderer was Henry G. 
Green, and his victim was the lady whom he married about one 
week previous. From his confession, made just before his exe- 
cution, and the testimony elicited upon the trial, we gather all 
the facts necessary for our present purpose. It appeared from 
the testimony that Green made the acquaintance of Miss Mary 
Ann Wyatt, a beautiful and accomplished lady of Lowell, Mass. 
She was engaged as an actress in the play of the Drunkard, 
and was traveling in company with her brother when Green 
made her acquaintance. After a short .acquaintance he offered 
his hand in marriage and was accepted. The nuptials were 
celebrated and they entered upon life with bright prospects, 
amid the congratulations of many friends of wealth and high 
social position, A few days after their marriage a party was 
formed for a pleasure ride to Hoosick. Here Green met a lady 
of his acquaintance who playfully told him she had expected 
to marry him. Though there was nothing in the appearance 
or conduct of his bride to make him regret the step he had ta- 
ken, he seems to have been possessed with a strange and uncon- 
trollable passion for this young lady, and very soon began to 
plan for the removal of the object that intervened to prevent the 
consummation of his wishes. Green at first procured opium, 
which he gave his wife, but this was vomited up before it effect- 
ed the desired object. He next procured arsenic and continued 
to repeat the dose in various ways, in coffee and in soup, while 
she was suffering from previous doses under the care of a nurse. 
There was no complaint that his victim was not all he had ex- 
pected, but she must be removed to allow of the union with the 
young lady before mentioned. He declared in his confession 
that he had no fears of detection, and the first feelings of pain 
or regret for the deed were when he saw the suffering of his wife. 
He had shown his affection for her by purchasing a cloak, dress 
and other articles after their marriage, and there was no change 
in her conduct towards him- until she became suspicious that he 
was the cause of her sickness. He suffered the extreme penalty 
of the law, on the tenth of September 1845, and was buried in the 
cemetery at Berlin, beside his victim. Her remains were after- 
wards removed by her friends to another part of the grounds, and 
a neat monument erected as a tribute of respect by her brother. 
The sentence of death was pronounced upon Green by Judge 
Parker, who asked him if he had anything to say why judg- 



82 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



ment should not be pronounced against him. Green replied 
"not guilty." The Judge then said: "That is adding nothing 
to what has already been said ; that plea has been put in by your 
counsel and the issue has been tried with every advantage to 
you. You have had the aid of rich and powerful friends, 
friends of high respectability and character, who have secured 
for you every opportunity of presenting your whole case to the 
jury fully and fairly. Notwithstanding this, an intelligent jury 
have found you guilty, and no person who has heard the trial 
does not concur in the justice of the verdict. You stand con- 
demned as guilty of having murdered your wife. Your case in 
all respects exceeds in enormity any of which I have ever heard. 
It will no doubt stand out on the page of History as the most 
criminally awful case of murder that ever came before Court or 
jury. You murdered her deliberately, you murdered the woman 
you had sworn but one short week, I may say, four days before, 
to cherish through life ; the woman whose destiny had been 
placed in your keeping, in less than one week after marriage you 
deliberately poisoned. You pursued your design day and night, 
repeating the deadly potation from time to time until she ex- 
pired, and then added to the crime of murder the black crime 
of perjury, for jou violated the most solemn vow you made at 
the altar. Was it ever known that so interesting and holy a re- 
lation as that of man and wife has ever been followed so soon by 
results so shocking and painful to all the feelings of nature. 
Now the law pronounces your sentence, you are to be executed, 
cut off in the prime of life, or rather just as you are entering 
on life where you had rich and powerful relations and friends to 
aid you, when you might have been respected, but from which 
you are to be cut off and consigned to an early grave. And 
those friends who have stood by you will not share the disgrace 
that awaits you. You have had the advantage of every doubt 
that has arisen on the trial, and you must not flatter yourself 
with hopes that cannot be realized, but prepare for the awful 
death that awaits you and make preparation for your final ac- 
count. It is the judgment of the law, that on Wednesday, the 
10th day of September next, between the hours of 8 o'clock in 
the morning and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, you be taken to the 
place of execution and there be hanged by the neck until yon 
be dead." 

The population of Berlin in 1865 was 2,149, and its area 34,- 
135 acres. 

BUVNSWICK was formed from Troy, March 20, 1807. 
A part of the town was reannexed to Troy, April 15, 1814. It 
lies a little north-west of the center of the County, upon the 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 83 

hilly region west of the summits of the Petersburgh Mountains. 
The most elevated portions of the town rise to the hight of 800 
to 1,000 feet in the extreme east and north-west parts. The 
principal streams are Poesten Kil, its tributary, Quacken Kil, 
and Tomhannock Creek. The soil upon the summits of the 
hills is hard and sterile, but in the valleys and low lands it con- 
sists chiefly of a gravelly loam, intermixed with clay. The 
people are engaged extensively in furnishing milk, vegetables 
and hay for the Troy market. 

Center Brunswick (p. v.) is situated a little north of the 
center. 

Cropseyville, (p. v.) 

East Brunswick, in the east part, and 

Eagle Mills, (p. v.) in the south part, are all small villages 
containing a limited amount of manufacturing. 

The first settlement was made in town about 1760, by a com- 
pany of Germans, among whom were David Coons, and fami- 
lies named Hardwick, Braunschweiger, Springer, Borck, Hay- 
ner, Outhout, Van Arnam, Hogg, Fisher, Benn, Watson, Fret, 
Quackenboss, Muller, Goeway and Clum. 

The first inn was kept by a man named File, near the Luther- 
an Church, in 1790. The first store was kept by Henry Clum, 
at Cropseyville. The first factory was erected at Albia, now a 

part of Troy. The first mill was built by Cross, in 1772, 

with no tools but an ax, saw and auger. 

This town suflFered greatly on the approach of Burgoyne in 
1777, and after his surrender at Saratoga, many families of Roy- 
alists withdrew to Canada, and but few returned. 

The population of Brunswick in 1865 was 3,175, and its area 
27,971 acres. 

The number of school districts in the town is fifteen, em- 
jDloying the same number of teachers. The number of chil- 
dren of school age is 1,092 ; the number attending school is 
750 ; the average attendance 343, and the amount expended for 
school purposes for the year ending September 30, 1869, was 
15,378.35. 

BAST GBBENBVSM was formed from Greenbush, as 
Clinton, February 23, 1 855, and its name was changed April 14, 
1858. It lies upon the bank of the Hudson, south-west of the cen- 
ter of the County. The bluffs which border upon the river, 
rise from the edge of the water to the hight of 100 to 
300 feet. The principal of these bluffs is opposite the city 
of Albany and is called Fon-okose Hill, an Indian name. 



84 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



From the summits of these bluffs the surface spreads out 
into a rolling upland, rising towards the east. The prin- 
cipal streams are Tierken Kil, which signifies "Blustering 
or Noisy Creek," in the central, and Moordeners Creek, in the 
south-west part of the town. The soil consists of sand, gravel 
and clay, and is very fertile. There are several sulphur springs 
in town, the principal of which is opposite Albany and is 
known as "Harrowgate." A large island called Papskanee lies in 
the river and belongs to this town. The name of this island is 
variously spelled as, Papskenekoes and Fapakenea. 

East Greenbush, (p. o.) in the south part, contains about a 
dozen dwellings. 

The settlement of this town commenced at a very early day, 
probably as early as 1630. Among the early settlers were fami- 
lies named Van Buren, Van Hegen, Staats, Bris, Vanderburgh, 
Whitbeck, Cuyler and Van Wesipe. A ferry was established 
at a very early day across the Hudson, from Albany to G-reen- 
bush. 

During the War of 1812 extensive barracks were erected on 
the hills east of Greenbush village; and for several years the 
place was the center of active military preparation and the ren- 
dezvous of large bodies of troops. The cantonments contained 
accommodations for 4,000 troops. There were hospital accom- 
modations for 100. The present residence of Mr. M. Kirtland 
was used for officers quarters, and the road is called " Barracks 
Koad." This place was chosen on account of the supposed 
healthfulness of its elevated position, but during the first year 
of its occupation much sickness occurred on account of the un- 
avoidable exposures of the camp. Several military executions 
took place there during the War; most, if not all, of which 
were for desertion. 

Edmund C. Genet, Minister of the French Kepublic to the 
United States, was long a resident of this town, and died here 
July 14, 1834. 

The following description is from D wight's Travels in 1798 : 

" After crossing the ferry at Albany, we rode over a charming 
interval at Greenbush, handsomer and more fertile than any 
other which I have seen on this road. It extends several miles 
towards the south and is divided into beautiful fai'ms and plant- 
ed in a thin dispersion, with houses and outbuildings whose 
appearance sufficiently indicates the easy circumstances of their 
proprietors. From the excellent gardens which I have at times 
seen in tliis spot and the congeniality of soil to every hortulan 
production of this climate, I should naturally have believed that 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 85 

the inhabitants together with the neighbors would have sup- 
plied the people of Albany with vegetables. Instead of this 
they are principally furnished by the Shakers of New Lebanon, 
a strong proof of the extreme reluctance with which the Dutch 
farmers quit their ancient customs even when allured by the 
prospects of superior gain." 

" There is a small village in Schodack, containing about thirty 
houses, and another at Stephentown of perhaps twenty, standing 
on the borders of Kinderhook Creek. The rest of this region 
is divided into farms, moderately fertile and cultivated by 
tenants." 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,663, and its area 
14,228. 

The number of school districts in the town is six, employing 
the same number of teachers. The number of children of 
school age 438; the number attending school 266; the average 
attendance 108, and the amount expended for school purposes 
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1869, was 12,396.94. 

GRAFTON was formed from Troy and Petersburgh, 
March 20, 1807. It lies north of the center of the County, upon 
the summits of the Petersburgh Mountains. The surface is 
very rocky and broken, and a large portion of it is still covered 
with forests. The summits of the hills are from 800 to 1200 
feet, above tide, and many of them are covered by huge, jagged 
masses of graywacke. Among the hills are twenty-five ponds, 
several of which cover several hundred acres each and are sur- 
rounded by a wild and romantic scenery, the favorite resort of 
sportsmen. The Quacken Kil is the principal stream. The 
soil is chiefly clay, underlaid by hardpan, and is wet, cold and 
hard of cultivation. Mineral paint has been made to some ex- 
tent from the red argillite at Quackenkill. Large quantities 
of wood, tan -bark and charcoal, are sent from this town to Troy. 
Sheep and cattle are raised extensively. Shirts are manufac- 
tured quite extensively in various parts of the town. It is es- 
timated that 18,000 dozen were made in the town during the 
last year. 

Grafton Center, (Grafton p. o.,) situated in the center of the 
town, contains a Baptist church, two stores, a cheese factory, a 
blacksmith shop, a boot and shoe shop, a saw mill, a stave ma- 
chine and about twenty dwellings. 

Quackenkill, (p. o.) on the west border of the town, is a ham- 
let.

GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



The first settlement was made by tenants under Van Eensse- 
laer. They paid an annual rent of from seven to twenty-two 
bushels of wheat per hundred acres. Among the first settlers 
were families named Coon, Dimmons and Owens. Francis West 
and family, from Rhode Island, settled at an early day where 
Nathan Lewis now lives. John Babcock, from the same State, 
settled about the close of the Eevolution, where J. D. Slade 
now lives ; he was married to Delma Wager in January 1792. 
Elkanah Smith, from New Jersey, settled where Aaron Eldred 
now lives : he was a soldier of the Eevolution. Joshua Banker 
settled about the same time where Henry Banker lives. Wil- 
liam Scriven and family, consisting of seven sons and two 
daughters, came from Ehode Island and settled in this town 
about 1779. Three of the sons, James, Zebulon and John, were 
Eevolutionary soldiers. A man named Owens, from Ehode Is- 
land, with two sons, settled on 200 acres of land, where Stewart 
Allen now lives. The land was a gift from Stephen Van Eens- 
selaer. Owens was a Eevolutionary soldier and received bounty 
land in the town of Manlius. John and Thomas Phillips set- 
tled where Truman Keller lives ; Francis Brock, from Ver- 
mont, where Silas Brock now lives, and John and David Mills, 
where Eeuben Hall now lives. John Monroe settled in the 
north part of the town; a man named Dimmons, where Jabez 
Hakes lives; Solomon Smith, where Josiah Church lives; Eu- 
fus Eix, near the same place, and Captain Charles Ferry, where 
D. L. Simmons lives. In 1797 Daniel Littlefield, from Mass., 
settled where Hiram Littlefield lives. Solomon Eoot, from Con- 



necticut, settled in the town in 1785 ; Nathaniel Dumbleton, in 
1796, on the farm now occupied by Oscar C. Dumbleton. He 
came from Grafton, Vt., and was the first supervisor of the 
town. John P. Hayner settled where Samuel Newton lives. 

The first store was kept by Josiah Litchfield, at Quackenkill ; 
the first tavern, at East Grafton, by Thomas Scriven ; the first 
one in the west part of the town by Elijah Ferry. Another au- 
thority says S. McChesney kept the first store and inn, in 1800. 

Among the other early settlers in the town were Henry Hy- 
dom, William Snyder, Henry Coonradt, B. Haynor, James Eeid, 
Godfrey Howard, Andrus Miller, John Hydom, Lodowick Bone- 
steel and Marcus Simmons. Hannah Scrivens, now living and 
aged 87 years, was one of the early settlers of the town. Josiah 
Littlefield built the first saw mill, at Quackenkill, in 1800. Abel 
Ford, from Mass., settled in 1775, where J. West lives; he was 
a Eevolutionary soldier. Alpheus Ford, his son, born in 1793, 
is said to be the oldest person in the town born there. About 
1802 the Patroon built a grist mill near the center, Abel Ford 
doing the carpenter work.

The first town meeting was held at the house of Nathan 
Hakes, the first Tuesday in April 1807, at which Nathaniel 
Dumbleton was chosen Super\^^^or ; D. S. Crandall, Town Clerk ; 
Zebulon Scrivener and Thomas West, Justices of the Peace. In 
the Town Eecords we find the following: 

" State of New York, Eensselaer Co. 

" I hereby certify that Ethan Maxon, son of Samuel Maxon, 
and Dorcas Willis, widow of Jason Willis', deceased, both of 
G-rafton, were lawfully joined together in the honorable state of 
marriage, in said G-rafton on the 12th day of April 1807. 

Eecorded May 9, 1807. 

D. C. Crandall, Town Clerk. 

Elisha Wells, Justice of the Peace." 

Among the early records of births, we find that of Rufus Gal- 
lop, Jan. 6, 1757 ; Eebecca Lamphire, Jan. 4, 1764. They were 
married in 1780. The births of their ten children are also 
recorded in order, the last Sept. 24, 1802. 

At the time of the settlement of this town, and many years 
afterwards, farmers were accustomed to mark their cattle and 
sheep in the ear, and have their mark recorded in the Town 
Clerk's ofiice. The following will give the younger portion of 
our readers a good idea of the manner of doing it : William^ 
West's ear mark was a " notch in the hind side of the right ear."' 
Asa Sweet's was " a swallow tail in the end of the left ear and a 
half-penny in the hind side of the same." 

The eccentric Lorenzo Dow was the first Methodist preacher 
in this town ; and Nathaniel Lewis (Baptist,) was the first set- 
tled minister. 

The Baptist Church at Grafton Center was organized in 1807 
with about twelve members. A new church edifice was erected 
in 1852 and is now undergoing repairs. The present member- 
ship is 117. H. J. S. Lewis is the present pastor. 

The Free Methodist Church was organized by A. B. Burdick 
with five memlers, viz., Stephen and Lucinda Eivenburgh, 
Henry Simmons, Jeremiah Martin and Marinda Hayner. The 
present membership is twenty. The society occupy the Union 
church. A. B. Burdick is the present pastor. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,673, and its area 
27,269 acres.

the pine woods which originally covered the flats, and by the

Indians " Pe-tu-qua-poem " and " Tus-cum-ca-tick," was formed 
from Eensselaerwyck, April 10, 1792. Another act of incorpo- 
ration is dated March 17, 1795. A part of Sand Lake was set 
oJBF in 1812, and Clinton (now East Greenbush,) and North 
Greenbush in 1855, leaving in the present town only the corpo- 
rate limits of the village as defined by the act of April 9, 1852. 
The surface consists of the flat intervale on the river and a por- 
tion of the adjacent hillsides. The soil is clay, mixed with 
sand and alluvial deposits^ 

Greenbush (p. v.) was incorporated April 14, 1815. The up- 
per part of the village is locally known as East Albany, and con- 
tains the depots, freight houses and machine shops of the 
railroads terminating there. It is a place of considerable busi- 
ness. 

The first settlement was made previous to 1631. In that year 
G-errit Teunissen de Eeue is mentioned as occupying a well 
stocked farm. Cornelius Maessen Van Buren, an early settler 
on the river below, died in 1648. Evert Pels Van Steltyn lived 
on Mill Creek at an early day. On Bleeker's map of Eensse- 
laerwyck, made in 1767, we find the names of John Witbeck, 
Peter Douw and Henry Cuyler, located about where the village 
of Greenbush now is. 

A ferry was established at the mouth of Beaver Creek in 
1642 and was first kept by Hendrick Albertson. 

The country around Beverwych was thrown into alarm by the 
news of the Indian massacre at Esopus in Juhe 1663 ; the settlers 
took refuge in Eort Cralo, on the Patroon's farai, and a night 
watch was established. The following names of those consti- 
tuting this watch have been preserved, viz. : Cornelius Van 
Ness, chief ofl&cer; Cornelius Stephenson Mullen. Adam Din- 
germans, Gerret Van Ness, Jan Juriaessen, Jan Van Ness, Ja- 
cobus Jansen, Tyman Hendricksen, Wm. Bout, Jan Outhout, 
Hendrick Van Ness, Hendrick Maessen, Gerrit Teunisson, Hans 
Jacobson, Hendrick Williamson and Claes Claessen. 

The village plat was purchased and laid out in 1806, and for 
several years thereafter the growth was quite rapid. During 
\ the War of 1812 it contained from fifty to seventy dwellings. 
•! The population of the town in 1864 was 4,779 and its area 

I acres. 

I : The number of school districts is two, employing four teach- 
I : ers. The number of children of school age is 1,938; the nuin- 
I ber attending school, 908 ; the average attendance, 412 ; and 
I the amount expended for school purposes for the year ending 
\ Sept. 30, 1869, was 114,080.59. 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 91 

MOOSICK was formed as a district, March 24, 1772, and 
as a town, March 1, 1778. It lies in the north-east corner of 
the County. The surface consists of the narrow valley of Hoo- 
sick Eiver and the wild rocky regions of the Taghkanick 
and Petersburgh Mountains, rising respectively on the 
east and west. Fondas Hill, in the south-east, and Potters 
Hill, in the south-west, each about 900 feet above tide, are the 
two highest peaks. The valleys are very narrow and are bor- 
dered by steep hillsides. A belt of dark slate, which is quarried 
for roofing, extends along the east bank of the river. The 
rocks upon the east side of the river consist of a slaty shale and 
limestone, the latter furnishing lime. The principal streams 
are Hoosick and Walloomsac Rivers, Punch Kil, White Creek 
and Shaw Brook. The soil among the mountains is hard and 
sterile, and in the valleys it is principally clay, mixed with dis- 
integrated slate. In the south-east corner are several springs 
from which issues nitrogen gas. The gas appears to come up 
from the gravel beds and is not combined with the water. By 
pressing upon a surface a few inches square a large amount of 
the gas can be collected in d short time. Flax is extensively 
cultivated and considerable attention is also paid to manufac- 
tures. 

RoosicTc Falls, (p. v.) situated on the Troy & Boston R. R., was 
incorporated in 1827. It is 27 miles from Troy and contains 
five churches, viz., Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal 
and Roman Catholic ; a manufactory of mowing and ^reaping 
machines, shearing machines, a union school and about 3,500 
inhabitants. 

The Union School occupies the building formerly occupied by 
Ball Seminary, which has been enlarged to about twice its for- 
mer size. It contains an academic department and, by special 
act of the Legislature, is made free to all pupils of school age 
in the district. James K. Hull is the principal, assisted by six 
associates. 

The Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Manufac- 
tory, located in this village, is worthy of more than a passing- 
notice, being the largest of the kind in the world. Mr. Walter 
A. Wood, the founder of these extensive works, was born in 
Mason, N. H., Oct. 23, 1815, came to Hoosick Falls in 1836, and 
worked at blacksmithing for Seth Parsons, who was engaged in 
manufacturing. He married a daughter of his employer, a sister 
of Z. Russell and David B. Parsons, who are now interested in 
the manufacture of these machines. A few years later Mr. 
Wood engaged in the manufacture of the Manny Reaper and 
Mower, to which he added some improvements of his own.

During all this time lie was at work perfecting his ideal of 
a machine superior to any other in use. In 1853 his labor 
was crowned with success, and a patent was granted for his in- 
vention. In 1854 he commenced, in a small way, the manu- 
facture of his machines, continuing to increase his works as the 
demand for the machines increased, until 1866, when a stock 
company was formed with W. A. Wood, President ; J. "Eussell 
Parsons, Vice President ; "Willard Gay, Treasurer ; A. C. Gear, 
Secretary. The demand for the machines increased to such an 
extent that in 1867 the Company were compelled to enlarge 
their buildings and did so, giving the working floors of the 
manufactory an area of over 250,000 feet, or upwards of six 
acres. The number of men employed is 775, aided by the best 
machinery in every department. The daily consumption of 
raw material in this manufactory is twenty tons of cast iron, 
ten tons of wrought iron, two and a half tons of malleable iron, 
three-fourths of a ton of steel, and fifteen thousand feet of lum- 
ber. The works are capable of turning out over one hundred 
machines a day. The sales during the year 1869 amounted to 
23,000, and the whole number made at this establishment, and 
now in use, will not fall short of 150,000. The sale of this ma- 
chine is not confined to the United States, but Canada, England, 
France, Eussia, Germany, Spain and other countries, show their 
appreciation of its merits- by lending their patronage, the de- 
mand for these countries being nearly as great as in the United 
States. The machine received the award of the first prize of the 
Eoyal Agricultural Society of England in 1861 and 1865, the 
only prizes offered by that Society since this machine has been 
before the public. The medal of honor of the great Interna- 
tional Exhibition at London in 1862, and the first prize at the 
great National Exhibition of Eussia, and field trials in Moscow 
in 1864, were awarded to this machine. The number of awards 
at State and County Fairs are too numerous to mention. 

The visitor to Hoosick Falls should not fail to visit the rare 
and beautiful collection of minerals belonging to L. Wilder, 
Esq., of this village. Mr. Wilder is a great lover of Nature, 
and has at great expense and labor collected a cabinet of miner- 
als, which is seldom equaled. It embraces some of the finest 
specimens of stalactites, agates and other minerals, to be found 
in the country. The taste displayed in the arrangement calls 
forth the admiration of all visitors. 

Eagle Bridge, (p. v.) situated at the junction of the Troy & 
Boston and the Eutland & Washington Eailroads, contains 
one store, two hotels, a school house, a saw mill, a grist mill, a 
planing and flax mill, a rope and cordage factory and about 150 
inhabitants. 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 93 

BuskirFs Bridge, (p. v.) on the Hoosick Eiver, is a station on 
the Troy & Boston E. R, and contains three churches, viz., 
Methodist, Eeformed and TJniversalist ; three stores, a school- 
house, two flax mills, a saw mill, a cider mill, a carriage factory 
and about 200 inhabitants. 

Hoosick (p. V.) is a station on the Troy & Boston R E. and 
contains two churches, viz.. Episcopal and Baptist ; two stores, 
two hotels, two blacksmith and wagon shops and about 400 in- 
habitants. 

North Hoosick (p. v.) is a station on the Troy & Bennington 
R. R. and contains a Methodist church, a paper mill, a woolen 
factory, three stores, a hotel, a flouring mill, a saw mill, a wagon 
shop, a blacksmith shop and about 400 inhabitants. 

Walloomsac is a station on the Troy & Bennington R. R. and 
contains two stores, a paper mill and about 1 40 inhabitants. 
The village was named from the Walloomsac River, and that 
received. its name from a German named Wallam, who took up 
a large tract of land in this vicinity. The name is variously 
spelled on the early maps and in public documents, viz., Wal- 
lomsock, Wallamsock, Wallomschock, Walmscock, Walloomschoick, 
Wallamsac and Walmsook. 

West Hoosick (p. o.) and 

Potter Hill (p. 0.) are hamlets. 

This town included part of the Hoosick Patent, granted June 
3, 1688, to Maria Van Rensselaer, Hendrick Van Ness, Jacobus 
Van Cortlandt and Gerrit Finnise. The Patent extended from 
the Schaghticoke Tract, a distance of two miles each side of the 
river, up to a " certain fall called Quequick, and from said falls, 
up the creek to a place called Nach-a-quick-quack." It included 
also a part of the Walloomsac Patent, granted June 15, 1739. 
This Patent contained 12,000 acres, on both sides of the Wal- 
loomsac River and lying partly in Washington Co. and partly in 
Vermont. It was granted to Edward Collins, James DeLancy, 
Gerardus Stuyvesant, Stephen Van Rensselaer, Charles Williams 
and Frederick Morris. The first settlements were made upon 
the Hoosick Patent by several Dutch families. Among them 
were Adam Vrooman, an Indian trader, Henry Van Ness, 
Abraham Fort, Lewis and Peter Viele, John Van Buskirk, Wal- 
ter Van Vechten, George B. Nichols, Jaco b " OdekirkpD^niel 
Bradt and Reykert Borie. A Dutch church was founded and 
known as the "Tyoshoke Church," at San Coick, near the north 
border of the town. This settlement was entirely broken up 
by a party of French and Indians on the 28th of August 1754. 
Two persons were killed and the houses, barns and crops de-

stroyed. The next day the settlement at San Ooick, south of 
Hoosiek, was also destroyed. The invaders were supposed to be 
Schaghticoke Indians who, a short time before, had abandoned 
their settlements and gone to Canada. The loss of the two set- 
tlements was estimated at 4,000 pounds. 

The conflict called the Battle of Bennington was fought in 
this town. It was a part of the operations of Burgoyne's inva- 
sion from Canada in the summer and fall of 1777. His stores 
and provisions had become so much reduced that he found it 
necessary to replenish them. Being informed that the Ameri- 
cans had a large supply of these, and of cattle and horses, at 
Bennington and in the vicinity, he resolved to send a detach- 
ment of his army thither to capture them. In accordance with 
this resolution he dispatched Lieutenant Col. Baume thither 
with five hundred Hessians, Canadians and Tories, and one hun- 
dred Indians. Burgoyne's instructions to the commander of 
the expedition were dated August 9, 1777, and declared the ob- 
jects to be, to try the affections of the people, to disconcert the 
councils of the enemy, to mount Eiedesel's dragoons, to com- 
plete Peters's corps and to obtain large supplies of horses, cattle 
and carriages. He ordered that all officers, civil and military, 
acting under the authority of Congress, should be made prison- 
ers. Baume was further instructed to tax the towns where 
they halted, with such articles as they wanted, and bring all 
horses fit to mount the dragoons or to serve as battalion horses 
for the troops, with as many saddles and bridles as they could 
find. Burgoyne fixed the number of horses to be procured at 
thirteen hundred at least, and more if they could be obtained. 
He directed that they should be " tied in strings of ten each, in 
order that one man might lead ten horses." Comparing this 
with the result we see the uncertainty of all human calcula- 
tions. Baume left his encampment at Fort Edward on the 13th 
of August, and the next day arrived at Sancoik's, now North 
Hoosiek. Here he wrote the following letter to his commander : 



^to 



*' Sancoik, 14th August, 1777, 9 o'clock. 
" Sir — I have the honor to inform your excellency that I ar- 
rived here at eight in the morning, having had intelligence of 
a party of the enemy being in possession of a mill, which they 
abandoned at our approach, but, in their usual way, fired from 
the bushes and took their road to Bennington. A savage was 
slightly wounded; they broke down the bridge, which has re- 
tarded our march above an hour ; they left in the mill about 
seventy-eight barrels of very fine flour, one thousand bushels of 
wheat, twenty barrels of salt and about £1,000 worth of pearlash 
and potash. I have ordered thirty provincials and an officer to 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 95 



guard the provisions and the pass of the bridge. By five pris- 
oners taken here, they agree that from fifteen to eighteen hun- 
dred are at Bennington, but are supposed to leave it on our ap- 
proach. I will proceed so far to-day as to fall on the enemy 
early to-morrow, and make such disposition as I may think 
necessary, from the intelligence I may receive. People are flock- 
ing in hourly, but want to be armed. The savages cannot be 
controlled, they ruin and take everything they please. 

" I am your excellency's most humble servant, 

F. Baume." 

Such was the situation on the 14th as viewed from the Brit- 
ish stand-point. The Indians and Tories had on the previous 
day made an attack upon a small party of Americans who were 
guarding some cattle. It was here that the five prisoners men- 
tioned in Baume's letter were taken. 

Let us now look at the field of operations from the American 
stand-point. On the 9th of August, the day of the date of Bur- 
goyne's instructions to Baume, General Stark arrived at Ben- 
nington with a portion of the New Hampshire militia. Here 
he encamped, sent out scouts to obtain information as to the 
movements of the enemy, and collected as many of the militia 
from the surrounding country as possible. Having learned that 
a small body of Indians were at Cambridge, he sent out Lieu- 
tenant Colonel Gregg, Aug. 13, with two hundred men to op- 
pose their march. Towards night he received information that 
a large body of the enemy with a train of artillery was in the 
rear of the Indians and in full march for Bennington. Eally- 
ing all the force at his command and sending an order to the 
commander of Col. Warner's regiment, at Manchester, to march 
immediately to Bennington, General Stark moved with his 
whole force on the 14tli to the support of Col. Gregg. He was 
accompanied by Cols. Warner, Williams and Brush, though the 
regiment of Col. Warner remained at Bennington, having ar- 
rived on the previous night in the rain. After marching about 
five miles they met Col. Gregg retreating and the enemy within 
a mile of him. Stark immediately disposed his army for battle, 
and Baume, hesitating to attack the increased force, took a po- 
sition upon the high ground near a bend in the Walloomsac, and 
began to intrench. Perceiving this. Stark fell back about a 
mile to await re-enforcements, while Baume sent an express to 
Burgoyne for aid. The next day was rainy and both parties 
were engaged in preparing for battle. The Hessians and a corps 
of rangers were strongly intrenched upon the high ground 
north of the Walloomsac, and a party of rangers and German 
grenadiers were posted at a ford near what is known as the Bar- 
net place, at the second railroad bridge as you pass from North 



96 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

Bennington to Hoosick. Some Canadians and Peters's corps of 
Tories were posted on the south side of the river, near the ford. 
At the foot of a declivity, near the mouth of a creek, on the 
east, some chasseurs were posted, and about a mile distant from 
the main intrenchments on the hight, on the south side of the 
stream, Peters's American volunteers or Tories threw up a 
breast work. Tradition says that this was commanded by Col. 
Pfister, a retired British oflBcer of the French War, who resided 
on what is now known as the Tibbitt's place, about half a mile 
west of Hoosick Four Corners. On the same side, upon the 
Bennington road, Stark and his army were encamped. Not- 
withstanding the rain of the 15th, there was some skirmishing. 
During the night, Col. Symonds arrived with a body of Berk- 
shire militia. Among them was a minister named Allen, from 
Pittsfield, Mass., who was eager for a fight. Before daylight, 
and while it was yet raining, he called on Gen. Stark and in- 
formed him that the Berkshire people had come to fight, and if 
they did not have a chance they would never turn out again. 
The General replied: "If the Lord shall once more give us 
sunshine, and I do not give you fighting enough, Fll never ask 
you to come out again." Sunshine came and with it fighting 
enough even for the " fighting parson." The battle commenced 
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. " It lasted two hours and was the 
hottest I ever saw. It was like one continued clap of thunder," 
says the commander in his official report. The enemy were 
driven from the field, abandoning their baggage to the Ameri- 
cans. While they were dispersed, appropriating the plunder, 
Col. Breyman arrived with re-enforcements for Baume. They 
had approached within two miles before Stark was apprised of 
the fact. The rain had impeded their progress so that they 
were not in time to take part in the battle, but meeting the re- 
treating forces of Baume, they rallied and turned their course 
again to their abandoned intrenchments. The forces of Stark 
were too much scattered to offer a successful resistance, and for 
a short time the fortunes of the day were in suspense. At this 
critical moment Colonel Warner's regiment arrived from Ben- 
nington, fresh and well armed, and pushed forward to the con- 
flict. The battle was continued until sunset, the enemy being ^ 
driven from the field. Seven hundred of the enemy were made * 
prisoners, among whom was the commander, who died soon af- 
ter, of a wound received in the conflict. Two hundred and 
seven of the enemy were killed. The Americans took four 
pieces of brass cannon, 250 dragoon swords, several hundred 
stands of arms, eight brass drums and four ammunition wagons. 
The American loss was about one hundred killed and as many 
wounded. General Stark had a horse killed under him but was 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 97 

not himself injured. The total loss of the enemy in killed, 
wounded and prisoners was 934, including 157 Tories. This 
was an important victory and did much to encourage the Amer- 
icans and hasten the final surrender of Burgoyne. It was at 
the commencement of this battle that Gen. Stark made the la- 
conic speech which tradition has preserved : " See there men ! 
there are the red-coats. Before night they are ours, or Molly 
Stark will be a widow !" The grist mill at North Hoosick was 
owned by a man named Van Schaick, who joined the forces of 
Stark at Bennington. It is now owned by John G. Burke and 
is probably the oldest building in the town. As this mill was 
in possession of the British for a few days preceding the Battle 
of Bennington it is quite probable that they ground some part 
of the one thousand bushels of wheat which Col. Baume has in- 
formed us he found there. 

The house now owned and occupied by Simeon S. Percey 
was built in 1794 by David Matthews. It is situated on the 
east line of the town, one-half being in the State of New York 
and the other in Vermont. It is a brick structure, very sub- 
stantially built, and was at the time of its erection probably one 
of the finest residences in this part of the country. Time had 
made but little impression upon it and it appears as firm as 
when built. Among the incidents of the battle, it is related 
that William Gilmore, a volunteer upon the American side, left 
his oxen in the yoke and took up arms to repel the invaders. 
He was engaged with others in taking up the plank upon a bridge 
across the stream, to prevent the British from crossing, and was 
the last to leave, when the enemy were so close as to fire upon 
him. 

Sheriff Schuyler, of Albany Co., reported, on the 17th of Au- 
gust, 1764, that an express arrived from "Hoseck" informing him 
that the "New Hampshire people had turned Hans Jerry Crei- 
ger, an inhabitant under the proprietors of Hoseck Patent, out 
of possession of his lands and tenements, drove off his cattle and 
took with them a parcel of Indian corn, and for the redemption 
of the cattle compelled him to pay forty-five dollars ; and the 
said express further informed that the said New Hampshire 
people were the next day to be at the houses of Peter Voss and 
Bastiane Deale in order in like manner to dispossess them of 
their possessions which they had peaceably enjoyed under the 
proprietors of said Hoseck Patent for upwards of three years, 
except only when driven off by the enemy Indians during the 
two last wars." In consequence of this information, the Sheriff 
proceeded to Hoosick, taking with him "two justices and a few 
other good people of this province." He arrived on Saturday and 
was told that the New Hampshire people would not come until 



98 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



Monday. Having received notice that they were at the house 
of Voss and Deale, he proceeded thither immediately ; but be- 
fore he arrived they had accomplished their design and departed. 
The Sheriff followed and overtook them, arresting Samuel Ash- 
ley, who called himself a Deputy Sheriff, Samuel Eobinson, a 
Justice of the Peace, John Horsfoot and Isaac Charles, and 
lodged them in jail at Albany. In 1772 it was reported that the 
rioters had brought to Bennington two pieces of cannon and a 
mortar from the small fort at East Hoosick, together with pow- 
der and ball. The difficulties between New York and the New 
Hampshire Grants continued until the close of the Eevolution, 
when Vermont became an independent State. 

Among the early residents of the town after the close of 
the Eevolution, was Mr. John Haynes, the father of Edmund 
Haynes. He came to this town in 1787. There were only four 
or five buildings where the village of Hoosick Falls now stands. 
These buildings were the grist mill, the dwelling house now oc- 
cupied by Col. Dorr, a housa where now stands David Gray's 
store, the mill-house and a log house occupied by Hank Barn- 
hart. Mr. Haynes Foster settled a little west of the village and 
took a lease of 160 acres of the Bradt title. Seneca Dorr was 
born in the town June 10, 1788, and is the oldest resident of 
the town who was born there. Mrs. Delia Van Hoosen is one 
of the oldest residents now living in the town who was born 
there. She was born in the south-east part of the town in 17^9, 
and still lives near the place of hdr birth. Dr. Salmon Moses, 
still a practicing physician in the town, was born in Norfolk, 
Connecticut, in December 1793. He moved to this town in 
1818, when the village was only a hamlet containing two stores. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 4,783, and its area 
38,906 acres. 

LANSINGBUBGH, named in honor of Abraham Jacob 
Lansing, one of the early settlers and the fpunder of the village, 
was formed from Troy and Petersburgh," March 20, 1807. A 
part of Schaghticokewas annexed in 1819. A part of Troy was 
taken off in 1836, and a part of Brunswick in 1839. It em- 
braces a narrow strip of land extending along the Hudson. In 
the south part the river flat is about one-fourth of a mile wide, 
but in the north the bluffs rise directly from the river. In the 
north-east is a high rocky hill, from 400 to 500 feet above the 
river. The high bluff east of the village is called Diamond 
Eock. The streams are Deepi Kil and Koola Kil. The soil is a 
gravelly and clayey loam. Considerable manufacturing is car- 
ried on at the village. A lock at Troy admits the passage of 
sloops up to this place.

Lansinghurgh, (p. v.) formerly called New City, contains eight 
clmrclies, viz : Baptist, Episcopal, two Presbyterian, Methodist 
Episcopal, Free Methodist, Zion Methodist and Eoman Catho- 
lic : a female seminary, two newspaper printing offices, two 
banks, several large manufactories of brushes, oil cloths, bricks, 
rope and cordage, and about 4000 inhabitants. The brush fac- 
tory of John Ames gives employment to 80 men and about 200 
boys and girls, making about $500,000 worth annually. 

Speigletotvn, in the north-east part, contains a Methodist 
church, a school house, a hotel, a blacksmith shop, a wagon 
shop, and about a dozen dwellings. 

Lansinghurgh is connected with Waterford by a covered 
bridge across the Hudson Kiver, and with Troy by horse rail- 
road and the Troy and Boston R. E. 

The village was founded by Abraham Jacob Lansing, about 
the year 1770. It was first organized under the name of Stone 
Arabia, in 1771. At the first town meeting, held Jan. 1, 1771, 
it was voted that A. J. Lansing and his heirs forever should be 
a committee of the village, with a power equal to each of the 
four chosen by the people. In May, 1775, fifty of the citizens, 
at the head of whom was A. J. Lansing, signed articles of asso- 
ciation, pledging themselves to sustain the measures recom- 
mended by the Continental or Provincial Congress. The first 
act of incorporation under the State Government was passed 
April 5, 1790, at which time the village was included in the 
town of Mensselaerwyck. By this act, John Van Eensselaer, 
Charles Tillman, Elijah James, Aaron Ward, Stephen G-oreham, 
Ezra Hickock and Levinus Lansing were appointed Trustees 
to. take charge of the waste lands of the village, and to j)erform 
certain municipal duties, their successors to be chosen annually. 
In 1791, this was included in the town of Troy. The place rap- 
idly increased in population and became an important trading 
and commercial village. 

In 1795, a traveler through this region says there are two 
new towns, five or six miles from Albany, which share in the 
trade. The greater distance from New York and the, less depth 
of water are unfavorable. Ships of sixty tons take only half 
their cargo at these points, the remainder being received from 
lighters in the vicinity of Albany. The freight to Albany is 
two pence per barrel. The same writer says : "New City con- 
tains sixty or seventy stores or shops, and Troy fifty or sixty. — 
These new settled merchants all prosper, and their number is 
daily increasing. The merchants of Albany, it is reported, view 
this growing prosperity of their neighbors with an evil eye, and 
consider it an encroachment upon their native rights."

In 1790, Ananias Piatt, an inn-keeper of Lansingbnrgh, ob- 
tained from the Legislature a grant to the exclusive right to run 
a stage between Lansingbnrgh and Albany. In 1794, it made 
two trips a day each way, in 1795 six trips, and in 1796 he run 
a stage to Schenectady four times a day. The same year, a Lan- 
singbnrgh newspaper says, twenty stages pass and re-pass daily 
between Lansingburgh, Troy, Waterford and Albany, carrying 
more than 150 passengers. 

George and Benjamin Tibbits removed from Warwick, E. I., 
to Lansingburgh, soon after the close of the Eevolutionary war. 
They opened a store aud continued in the mercantile business 
at this place until 1797, when they removed to Troy. 

The Lanaingbvrgh Academy was chartered Feb. 8, 1796. By 
an act passed Feb. 20, 1816, the Trustees of the Academy were 
authorized to subscribe one thousand shares to the Bank of 
Lansingburgh. 

A. Eeed, from ISTew Windsor, Conn., commenced a school here 
in 1793, in a gambrel roofed building used as the first meeting 
house. Eev. Dr. Lee taught the languages at the same time. 

The first church was organized in 1784 as a Eeformed Prot. 
Dutch, and re-organized in 1793 as a Presbyterian church. — 
Eev. Jonas Coe officiated as pastor of this Church for several 
years, alternating between this village and Troy. 

Trinity Church (Episcopal) was organized in the early part of 
January 1804. Eev. David Butler, one of the first class of dea- 
cons ordained by Bishop Seabury, was the first pastor. There 
have been six rectors of the parish since its organization. The 
present rector is Byron J. Hall. . On the 23d of Dec, 1868, the 
church was burned, since which a chapel has been built at a 
cost of $400. A new stone church is in process of erection, 
which will cost when completed about $40,000. It is expected 
that the new church will be completed before the close of the 
present year. 

The Methodist Church was organized at a very early day, Neiv 
City being one of the first circuits formed. In 1803, Eev. Laban 
Clark and Martin Enter preached there. Under the influence 
of Mr. Clark's first sermon, Chandley Lambert was awakened 
and converted, and afterwards became a preacher. The first 
church edifice was erected in 1810, chiefly through the instru- 
mentality of Eevs. Joel Ketchum and Elijah Chichester. It 
stood on the bank of the river and was occnpied about twenty 
years. A church was then erected on Congress Street and con- 
tinued to be occupied until the present house was erected in 
1849, under the pastoral charge of Eev. S. Parks. The present 
membership is 365, and the value of the Church property about 
$25,000. Eev. W. E. Brown is the present pastor. 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 101 

John Street Baptist Church was organized July 28, 1858, with 
twenty-eight members. Eev. A. B. Whipple was the first pas- 
tor. Eevs. Sellick, Barlow and Merriman were successively pas- 
tors. The first church edifice was purchased of the Second 
Presbyterian Society, August 20, 1860. The present value of 
the church edifice is $5,000. The number of members is 102. 
• Eev. A. B. Whipple is the present pastor. 

St. Augustine's Church (Eoman Catholic) was established in 
1842. The first church edifice was a small frame building, cor- 
ner of John and North streets. A new church was erected in 
1864 on the corner of John and Market streets. It is of the 
Gothic style of architecture, and cost 140,000. In 1869, school 
buildings were erected in connection with the church at a cost 
of $10,000. Eev. J. Shannehan was the first pastor. Eev. Thom- 
as Galberry, 0. S. A., is the present pastor. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 6,072, and its area 
5,253 acres. 

NASSAU'^du^ formed from Petersburgh, Stephen town and 
Schodack,'March 31, 1806, as Fhilipstown. It received its pres- 
ent name April 6, 1808. It lies near the center of the south 
border of the County. The surface is very broken.. Snake 
Hill, in the south-west, is about 800 feet above tide. The prin- 
cipal streams are Kinderhook and Tackawasick or Tsatsawassa 
Creeks, and Valatia Kil. There are several fine lakes among 
the hills, the principal of which are the Tsatsawassa and Pata- 
wassa. The Psanticoke Swamp, in the west part, covers several 
hundred acres. The soil is clay and gravel, underlaid by hard- 
pan. Manufacturing is carried on to a considerable extent in 
the town. 

Nassau, (p. V.) situated in the south-west part, was incorpor- 
ated March 12, 1819, contains some manufacturing and about 
300 inhabitants. 

West Nassau contains about 50 houses. 

East Nassau (p. v.) contains about 200 inhabitants. 

Hoags Corners (p. v.) contains about 200 inhabitants. 

Alps (p. V.) about 100. 

North Nassau and 

Millers Corners are hamlets. 

Brainerd, (p. v.) formerly called Brainardh Bridge, is in the 
south-east part and contains the " Transylvania Institute," es- 
tablished in 1838, as a boarding school for ladies and gentlemen, 
and about 200 inhabitants.

There is a limited amount of manufacturing in most of these 
Tillages. 

The first settler oi this town was Hugh Wilson, who located 
on the site of Nassau village in 1760. At that time a few fam- 
ilies of the Stockbridge Indians were living in the vicinity. 
They called their village On-ti-ke-ho-mawck, and their chief 
Kesh-o-mawck. The Indians conveyed to Joseph Primmer a 
tract of land north of Hoag's Pond, and another tract south of 
it, to Hugh Wilson, May 16, 1760. Among the early settlers 
were Thomas Hicks, Henry Post, John McOagg, Daniel Litz, 
Titus Hemsted, Abraham Holmes, James Marks, John M. 
Schermerhorn, Maj. A. Brush, Reuben Bateman, Nathaniel Gil- 
let, David Waterbury and men named McNeil and Wiltsie. 

William Primmer is said to have been the first child born in 
the town. The first grist mill was built on the outlet of Tsat- 
sawassa Pond, by Mr. Schermerhorn, previous to the Revolution. 
The first inn was kept a little before the Revolution, by a Mr. 
Hicks, and the first store, a short time after the Revolution, by 
Hoag & Vail. 

Within the last thirty years a considerable quantity of land 
has been allowed to produce a second crop of timber. 

The population in 1865 was 2,894, and its area 36,998 acres. 

The number of school districts is sixteen, employing the same 
number of teachers. The number of children of school age is 
953 ; the number attending school, 761 ; the average attendance, 
292, and the amount expended for school purposes for the year 
ending Sept. 30, 1866, $4,196.36. 

NORTH GBBBNBVSII was formed from Greenbush, 
February 23, 1855. It lies upon the Hudson, directly west of 
the center of the County. • The clay bluffs rise from the river to 
the hight of 100 to 200 feet, leaving little or no intervale. From 
the summits of these bluffs the surface spreads out into a roll- 
ing upland, broken by the deep gulleys of the streams. The 
principal stream is Wynants Kil, in the north-east. Aries Lake, 
on the east border, is a fine sheet of water. The soil is a sandy 
and gravelly loam, interspersed with patches of clay. The peo- 
ple are extensively engaged in supplying the markets of Troy 
and Albany with garden vegetables and milk. 

Bath, situated on the Hudson River, about half a mile 
above the East Albany Depot, contains two c'hurches, viz.. Bap- 
tist and Methodist ; a union school, a hotel, six groceries, a coal 
and wood yard, two confectionery stores, two meat and veget- 
able markets, two shoe shops, several other mechanic shops and 
about 2,000 inhabitants. The village is connected with Albany 
by a I '.earn ferry. 



GAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 103 

Befreesiville, (p. v.) in tlie south part of the town, called also, 
Blooming Grove, contains a Eeformed church, a hotel, a black- 
smith shop, a wagon shop, a shoe shop, two groceries and about 
a dozen dwellings. 

Wynantskill (p. v.) contains two churches, two hotels, a gro- 
cery, three blacksmith shops, two wagon shops and about a 
dozen dwellings. 

The first settlement waSr made by tenants under Van Rens- 
selaer, and was one of the first upon the Manor. Among the early 
settlers were John Cranel, Juriah Sharpe, Rainier Van Alstyne, 
Marte, David and Philip Deforest, Philip Wendell, Rutger Van- 
denburgh,. Cornelius M. Van Beuren, John Fonda, Ed. Hogg- 
arid Lawrence Rysdorp. Most of these names are found upon 
Bleeker's Map, made in 1767. 

The population in 1865 was 2,575, and its area 12,868 acres. 

The number of school districts is eight, employing eleven 
teachers. The number of children of school age is 1,300; the 
number attending school, 765 ; the average attendance, 351, and 
the amount expended for school purposes during the year end- 
ing Sept. 30, 1869, was $7,494.39. 

Two private schools in the town have an attendance of sixty- 
six pupils. 

BETEBSBXJBGH, named in honor of Peter Simmons, 
was formed from Stephentown, March 18, 1791. . Its boundary 
on the line of Berlin was changed January 4, 1793 ; parts of 
Berlin and Lansingburgh were taken off in 1806, and parts of 
Grafton and Nassau in 1807. It lies on the east border of the 
County, north of the center. The surface consists of two pre- 
cipitous mountain ridges, separated by the narrow valley of Lit- 
tle Hoosick River. The highest peaks rise from 1,000 to 2,000 
feet above tide. The mountain regions are precipitous, barren 
and almost inaccessible. The Hoosick River breaks through 
the Taghkanick Mountains in the north-east part. The soil in 
the valley is a gravelly loam. The hills are well adapted to pas- 
turage, and large numbers of sheep are kept. The Troy and 
Boston R. R. extends through the north-east part, and the Leb- 
anon Springs R. R. through the central part, along the valley 
of Little Hoosick River. Upon a mountain, in the south-east 
part of the town, is a deep cavity, called " Snowhole," where

North Petersburgh, (p. v.) in the north part of the town, on the 
Troy and Boston Railroad, contains a Methodist church, two 
stores, two hotels, two blacksmith shops and about twenty 
dwellings. 

This town was first settled about 1750, by Dutch tenants un- 
der Van Rensselaer. A few years later a number of families 
came in from Rhode Island. On a map of Rensselaerwyck, from 
a survey by John R. Bleeker, in 1767, we find the following 
names of settlers, most of whom were located on the north side 
of Hoosick River, viz : Peter and Hans Bachus, Johannes Ruy- 
ter, Henry Litcher, Hans Lautman, Barent Hogg, Jacob Best, 
Pet.rus Vosburgh, Bastian Deel, Frans Burn, Juria Kreiger, 

Henry Young, Scholemaster Watson, Long Andries, De- 

voet and Primmer. The last name probably designates 

John George Brimmer, who with his family settled in 1754 in 
the north part of the town, where Henry J. Brimmer now lives. 
William W. Reynolds came from* Rhode Island and settled in 
1780. He had six children, viz : Howard, Thomas, Benjamin, 
Elijah, Parker and Amy, numerous descendants of whom still 
reside in the town. Ichabod Prosser, from Vermont, settled 
soon after the war, where A. Prosser now lives. He was at the 
Battle of Bennington. Joshua, Thomas and Benjamin Ran- 
dall, Abraham Lewis, Augustus Lewis, Oliver Spencer, Stephen 
Card and Sylvanus Stephens settled at Lewis's Hollow at an 
early day. Asa and David Maxon, from Rhode Island, settled 
in 1794," where Clark Maxon now lives. They purchased 150 
acres at five shillings per acre. Sterry Hewett, from Conn., set- 
tled soon after the Revolution, where T. L. Nichols now lives. 
He was a soldier of the Revolution ; came to this town with an 
ox team. Stanton Bailey, from Conn., settled previous to the 
war, where W. B. Odell now lives. Gideon Clark settled where 
J. G. Clark now lives ; he was a soldier of the Revolution and 
drew a pension. Joseph Allen, from Rhode Island, settled about 
1790, where Clark Peckham lives ; he was a soldier of the Revo- 
lution. William Hiscock, from Rhode Island, settled about 
1788, where Livingston now lives. James Weaver, from Rhode 
Island, settled where Henry Weaver now lives; he was a Revo- 
Intionary soldier and at the Battle of Bennington. Thomas 
Phillips, from Rhode Island, settled soon after the Revolution, 
where J. G. Phillips now lives. 

On the 15th of June, 1754, Mr. John G. Brimmer w\as at 
work in the field with his sons, George, Godfrey and John, 
when Indian blankets were discovered. Mr. B. immediately 
started for tbe house, telling his sons to unharness the horses 
and follow him. Before they could comply with their father's 
request, four Indians were discovered coming toAvards them 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS, ^ 105 

They immediately grasped their guns, and George and one of 
the Indians fired at each other, G-eorge falling dead. Godfrey, 
seeing his brother fall, ran and hid behind a brush fence. While 
concealed he saw two Indians looking for him. He drew up his 
gun to fire, but a leaf falling upon the sight, he changed his po- 
sition and was discovered by the Indians. He and one of the 
Indians immediately exchanged shots, but without efiect. Per- 
ceiving the other Indian about to fire, he dropped the butt of 
his gun upon the ground, placed one hand over the muzzle and 
extended the other towards the Indian in token of surrender. 
The Indians came to him, one of them grasped him by the col- 
lar and passed around him three times with one finger within 
his shirt collar, then laid his hand upon his head, signifying 
" You are my prisoner." The Indians took John prisoner also, 
though he fled to an island in, the river on their approach and 
threw stones at them. He was sixteen years old, and Godfrey 
was twenty-one. They immediately started for Canada and pro- 
ceeded to Lake Champlain, where they took the skifis which 
they had previously left. The prisoners were taken to St. Johns, 
where they were met by about three hundred Indians, who 
formed a circle around them and ordered them to sing. They 
refused and were ordered the third time, but they still declared 
that they could not sing. The Indians being exasperated were 
about to strike, and had their clubs already raised for the pur- 
pose, when Godfrey discovered, in the crowd, an Indian who had 
partaken of the hospitalities of his father's house. He spoke to 
the Indian, who recognized him and interfered to save the pris- 
oners from torture. They remained at St. John's for six weeks, 
and were then sold to the French, by whom they were treated 
as slaves, suffering greatly from the tyranny of their masters. 
After a servitude of more than five years, they secured their free- 
dom on the surrender of Quebec to the English in 1759. They 
immediately started for Albany, and at Lake George were taken 
by the British and thrown into prison. They were soon re- 
leased through the influence of Mr. Van Eensselaer, and made 
their way to Albany. They there learned that their parents 
had removed to Ehinebeck and had heard nothing from them 
since their capture. The family afterwards removed back. to 
the Hoosick Valley, where a numerous posterity now reside. 

The early settlers were obliged to go to Albany to mill, and 
endure many other hardships incident to a new country. 

About 1780, John, Nathaniel, Hannah and Elizabeth Church 

settled where Peter Church now lives. Peter Church was 

born in this town in 1787, is still living, and probably the oldest 

person in the town who was born there. He has raised a family 

of eleven children, all of whom are now living.

The first grist mill was erected by George Eosenburgh, about 
1770, on the creek below Peter Church's. The first school was 

kept by Hall ; the first tavern by Cornelius Litcher, and 

the first store by Benjamin Hanks. A log grist mill was erect-, 
ed at South Petersburgh by John Spencer, previous to the Rev- 
olution, and a carding mill was erected by Barber & Murray in 
1800, The first church was erected by the Lutherans, at North 
Petersburgh, about 1798. 

The Methodist Church was organized about 1798, under the la- 
bors of Rev. Joseph Sawyer. Ebenezer Washburn was convert- 
ed and made the leader of a class, consisting of his wife, John 
Prosser and wife, and John G. Croy and wife. Before the close 
of the year the number increased from half a dozen to over 
thirty. Rev. Lorenzo Dow also preached here about this time. 
Mr. Washburn afterwards because a preacher. Rev. Peter Van 
Most and Daniel Bromley were among the other preachers at an 
■early day. Rev. Elisha B. Hoflf is the present pastor. A Meth- 
»odist church was formed at South Petersburgh, by Joseph 
Mitehel, in 1800. Services were held at the house of George 



mger. 



Their church edifice was erected in 1820. 



A (Christian Church was organized by Rev. John Spoon, about 
1838. It consisted of fourteen members. The present edifice 
was erected in 1843, the number of members is 89, and the pres- 
■ent;pastor is Rev. W. B. Haight. 

Dr. Hiram Moses was an early physician of this town, and, 
with his son, Hiram, is still practicing. 

Mrs. Mary Wilcox, the wife of Nathan Wilcox, committed 
suicide in December 1869. She was partially insane and had 
.not left her room for nearly a week previous to her death. She 
went to the garret and, with the sleeves of a Garibaldi waist 
about her neck, attached it to the bed post, and was found dead 
a few hours afterwards. 

Mrs. Thomas Carr^ a resident of the Prosser Settlement, left 
her house one day at 2 p. m., with three little children, aged 
three and a half, two years and five months. The house took 
.fire, and before aid arrived, the children were burned to death. 
The two oldest were taken from the fire clasped in each others 
arms. Nothing but the bones of the youngest was found. 

In July 1848, a most atrocious and cold blooded murder was 
perj)etrated in the south part of the town, by Andrus Hall. The 
victinjs were Noah Smith and his wife, aged respectively 80 and 
72 years. Hall had been in the employ of Smith, bat left and 
went to Troy. He returned on Friday night and stopped at 
Hewitt's barn. Early in the evening he went to Smith's house 
with a handspike and found the door bolted. He told Smith there

It 

were cattle in the meadow, back of the barn. Smith came out 
and Hall accompanied him to show him where the cattle were. 
As they were walking along quietly, Hall struck him upon the 
side of the head, killing hjm instantly. He then cut his throat 
and dragged him into the thick grass and left him. Hall then 
went to the house, told Mrs. Smith that her husband had sent 
him for an ax to fix the fence. She procured the ax, which he 
took, and with it struck her upon the side of the head. She 
fell to the floor, groaning mournfully. Hall lit the caudle, 
which had become extinguished on falling from Mrs. Smith's 
hand, and struck her another blow ; she still continued groan- 
ing', and Hall then took a knife and stuck it in her neck. He 
then barred the door and began the search for money, first put- 
ting a sheet before the window. He searched various places in 
the house, finding a considerable amount of money, including 
bills and specie. Mrs. S. continued groaning, and Hall stuck 
the knife into her neck-again. Perceiving the gold beads upon 
her neck, he cut the string and put the beads in his pocket. — 
Hearing a noise he left the house, and after going to Mr. Smith 
and covering his body with grass, started for Troy. Hall was 
executed at Troy, March 15, 1849, at the age of 24. Previous 
to his execution he made a full confession of this crime and 
others, showing that he was one of the most depraved of crimi- 
nals. He had previously murdered a boy named Franklin 
Brown, in Hoosick, for a few dollars in money and a silver watch. 
The bones of the boy were found where Hall had concealed the 
body. Mrs. Smith's gold beads led to his detection for his last 
crime. 

The wife of Henry Laker was murdered a few years since by 
a man named Coon, who was afterwards executed for his crime. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,670, and its area 
25,338 acres. 

JPITTSTOWN was created as a township, by patent, July 
23, 1761, and was formed as a town March 7, 1788. Its bound- 
ary was changed February 14, 1793. It lies in the center of the 
north part of the County. The surface is mountainous in the 
south and east, and declines into a moderately hilly region in 
the north. The highest summits in the south-east are 800 to 
1000 feet above tide. The soil is chiefly a gravelly and slaty 
loam. Flax is extensively cultivated and manufacturing is car- 
ried on to some extent.

settlers near Johnsonville. Ludovicus Viele settled at Valley 
Falls in 1772, and Christian Fisher and Michael Vandercook, at 
Cooksborough, the same year. In 1770, William Shepard, from 
New England, located on 500 acres ; Benjamin Aiken, from 
Dutchess Co., located on 950 acres, about 1778 or '80, and in 
1785 Alexander Thompson located on 500 acres.

The farm now owned and occupied by Leo V. Eeed was pur- 
chased at a very early day, by a man named Tinsler, of an In- 
dian chief. The tract contained about 180 acres, for which he 
gave an ax. 

In looking over the files of the "Northern Budget," in the Li- 
brary of the Troy Young Men's Association, the following rem- 
iniscence of Pittstown was discovered : 

"Thieves Take Notice !

Remorseless, graceless, shameless, cruel. 
My timber, fit for sale or fuel. 
Namely, my beeches, maples, walnuts. 
And trees which bear, spontaneous, all nuts, 
Had better be a little easy, 
Or else, I. trow, they'll soon feel queasy.

"Pittstown, Dec. 15, 1806." 

Whether this effusion had the effect to protect his timber 
from thieves, we are unable to say, but think they must have 
been incorrigible if this failed to make them honest. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 3,831, and its area 
39,513 acres. 

POESTENKILL, named from its principal stream, was 
formed from Sand Lake, March 2, 1848. It lies near the center 
of the County, upon the western declivities of the Petersburgh 
Mountains. The central and east portions are rugged, rocky 
and mountainous, and the soil is cold, sterile and unproductive. 
The west part is hilly, and the soil is a gravelly loam, well 
adapted to pasturage. Snake Hill, near the center, is one of the 
principal elevations. Upon the Poesten Kil is a beautiful cas-

cade of eighty feet fall. About a mile west of the falls is a me- 
dicinal spring which has attained some notoriety for the cure 
of eruptions and cutaneous diseases. A bathing establishment 
erected here several years ago was carried away by a freshet. 

PoestenMll, (p. v.) on the creek of the same name, contains 
two churches, three stores, a grist mill, a saw mill, a small 'cot- 
ton batting factory and about 300 inhabitants. 

East Poestenkill (p. o.) is a hamlet. 

Barberville contains a church and about fifteen dwellings. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,952, and its area 
19,353 acres. 

The number of school districts is eight, employing the same 
number of teachers. The number of children of school age is 
725 ; the number attending school 503 ; the average attendance 
226, and the amount expended for school purposes during the 
year ending Sept. 30, 1869, was 12,727.56. ' 

SAND IiAILM was formed from Greenbush and Berlin, 
June 19, 1812. A part of Greenbush was taken off in 1843, and < 
Poestenkill in 1848. It lies a little south of the center of the 
County. The surface is mountainous in the east and hilly in 
the west. Perigo Hill, in the north-east corner, is 900 feet 
above tide ; and Oak Hill, near the center, is about the same 
higlit. The east part of the town contains large forests, and is 
a favorite resort for hunting and fishing. Wynants Kil, flow- 
ing north-west through the center, and Tsatsawassa Creek, in 
the east, are the principal streams. Along the valleys of these 
streams are several small lakes, the principal of which are Sand, 
Glass and Crooked Lakes, and Big Bowman's Pond. The soil 
among the mountains is a hard, sterile clay, and in the west a 
good quality of gravelly loam. Three-fourths of a mile east of 
West Sand Lake is a chalybeate spring. Large quantities of 
cord wood, charcoal and tanbark are carried to the Troy and 
Albany markets. 

Sand Lake, (p. v.) situated near the center of the town, con- 
tains a Baptist church, two hotels, a store, four woolen mills, a 
cotton warp mill, a paper mill and about 1,000 inhabitants. 

The Woolen Mill of James Aken contains six sets of ma- 
chinery, and manufactures knit goods for men's underwear. 
About 100 hands are employed, and 300,000 pounds of cotton 
and wool are consumed annually.

annually in the manufacture of straw paper, and employ twenty 
hands. 

Sliter's Corners contains a Presbyterian church, a hotel, two 
stores, a carriage shop, a blacksmith shop and about twenty 
houses. 

Glass House was so-called from its having been the seat of an 
extensive glass factory. It was formerly called Rensselaer Vil- 
lage. The glass company was incorporated in 1806 and discon- 
tinued in 1852. In 1813 the company employed one hundred 
men. It now contains a Methodist church, a hotel and about a 
dozen dwellings. 

South Sand Lake (p. o.) contains a store, a hotel and a black- 
smith shop. 

West Sand Lake, (p. v.) in the north-west part of the town,

German Methodist ; a hotel, four stores and about 300 inhab- 
itants. • 

The settlement of this town was commenced previous to the 
Revolutionary War. Among the early settlers were Abram 
Frere, Nicholas Fellows, Andreas Barent, Fred. Shaver, An- 
dreas Weatherwax, Abram Bristol, Ephraim Quinby, John Car.- 
michael and Stephen Miller. 

Joshua Lockwood and William Carpenter built the first grist 
mill, in 1768, at West Sand Lake. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 2,606, and its area 21,- 
968 acres. 

The number of school districts is eleven, employing thirteen 
teachers. The number of children o| school age is 923 ; the 
number attending school 629 ; the average attendance 258, and 
the amount expended for school purposes for the year ending 
Sept. 30, 1869, was $3,906.94 

SCMAGMTICOKE was formed as a district, March 24, 
1772, and as a town, March 7, 1788. Pittstown. was taken off 
March 7, 1788, and a part of Lansingburgh in 1819. It lies on

the Hudson, in the north-west corner of the County. The sur- 
face is principally a rolling upland, about 200 feet above the 
river. The summits of the hills in the south are 800 feet above 
tide. Hoosick River, flowing through the north part, is border- 
ed on a portion of its course by steep banks 200 feet high. On 
this stream, at the mouth of Tomhannoek Creek, is a beautiful 
circular valley, three-fourths of a mile in circumference, and 
bounded on nearly every side by steep hills. A srriall stream, 
called the Dwaas Kil, flows from the Hudson into the mouth of 
the Hoosick. When the Hoosick suddenlyrises, the current of 
the stream is often changed, and it is not uncommon to se^ it 
running north in the morning and south at night. The name, 
Dwaas Kil, signifies " stream running both ways." The soil is 
generally a fertile, sandy or gravelly loam. Manufacturing is 
carried on to some extent in the town. 

Harfs Falls, (p. v.) (formerly Schaghticoke Point,) is situated 
on Hoosick River, four miles from its junction with the Hudson 
and about three-fourths of a mile from Schaghticoke Station, 
on the Troy & Boston R. R. The village contains three 
churches, viz., Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic ; 
three district schools, three hotels, a woolen factory, two paper 
mills, a twine and bagging factory, a marble factory, the 
Schaghticoke Powder Mill and about 1100 inhabitants. At this 
place is one of the finest water-powers on the Hoosick River. 
The whole fall is about 96 feet, including a perpendicular fall 
of 32 feet. A large part of this power is still unoccupied. Vic- 
tor Lodge, No. 680, F. & A. M., and Phrenix Lodge, No. 776, I. 
0. of C T., at this village, are in a flourishing condition. 

Junction, (p. v.) situated on the Deepi Kil, about a mile from 
Grants Junction-, on the Troy & Boston R. R., contains a store, 
the Grant Fanning Mill and Cradle Manufactory, and about 
twenty houses. 

Schaghticoke Hill, situated on Tomhannoek Creek, one mile 
from the station on the Troy & Boston R. R., contains a Meth- 
odist church, two stores, a saw mill, a grist mill, a twine and 
cordage mill, a scutching mill, the Schaghticoke Powder Keg 
Mill and about 150 inhabitants. 

Old Schaghticoke is a name applied to a section about six miles 
square, lying in the north-west part of the town. 

This valley, like the territory generally along the eastern 
bank of the upper Hudson, was formerly occupied by the Al- 
gonquin race, who after many years of hostility were at last con- 
quered and driven northward. For several years the country 
remained nearly unoccupied, but about 1670, through the exer- 
tions of Sir Edmond Andros, the Colonial Grovernor, a remnant 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 113 

of the Pequots were settled here under the name of Schaghticokes, 
the land having been given by the Mohawks as a barrier to the 
incursions of the northern tribes. About 1728 a division of the 
Tribe took place, the main body remaining until the " Seven 
Years War," when they joined their kindred in Canada. Small 
bodies of the Schaghticokes have until within a few years con- 
tinued to visit their ancient burial place and counsel tree, near 
the banks of the Hoosick Kiver, in '"' Old Schaghticoke." They 
were accompanied by a very aged woman of the Royal race, 
named Bathsheba. She died in 1854, aged more than one hun- 
dred years. 

By the charter of 1686, the City of Albany obtained the right 
to purchase of the natives five hundred acres of land in this 
town, but neglecting to improve this privilege immediately, the 
right was given to Hendrick Van Eensselaer, in 1698. The next 
year he sold his claim to the City, and in 1707 an Indian deed 
was obtained of a tract six miles square, lying chiefly in this 
town. The consideration for this valuable tract was "two 
blankets, two body coats, twenty shirts, two guns, twelve pounds 
of powder, thirty and six pounds of shot, eight gallons of runi, 
two casks of beer, two rolls of tobacco, two gallons of Madeira 
wine and some gin," to them in hand delivered by the Mayor, 
Recorder and Common Council of the City of Albany. In 1709 
the City conveyed the land to the following settlers, viz., John 
de Wandelaer, Jr., John Heermans Vischer, Corset Voeder, 
Daniel Kittlehuyn, John Knickerbocker, Louis Viele and Derick 
Van Veighten, who went there to reside, and were soon followed 
by Martin de Lament, Wouter Quackenbosch, Peter Yates, David 
Schuyler, Wouter Groesbeck, Philip Livingstone, Ignace Kip, 
Cornelius Yandenburgh and many others, whose descendants 
still reside in the vicinity. 

In 1714 Schaghticoke was organized into a parish of the 
Dutch Church. Having no regular minister residing there, the 
services were performed alternately by the ministers of Albany 
and Schenectady. A log church was erected the same year, and 
a small block-house in which the inhabitants took refuge in 
times of danger. The parish suffered greatly from incursions of 
French and Indians, who several times destroyed their church 
and dwellings, and carried into captivity many inhabitants. In 
1746 the Government erected a fort at old Schaghticoke, and 
garrisoned it with two companies of soldiers until the close of 
the Seven Years War. After the conquest of Canada by the 
English, there was greater security and the population increased 
rapidly. In 1760 a new church was built, which was a 
good specimen of the quaint style of church architecture 
common in the middle of the last century. It was sixty

by forty feet, with low side walls and a high pitched Man- 
sard roof, ending at the eastern gable in a bulbous turret, sur- 
mounted by a weather cock. The pulpit, which had its canopy 
and sounding board, was mounted on a high pedestal, beneath 
which was a small desk for the " Voorlieser," or clerk, in front 
of which was a communion table equally quaint. There was 
no burial ground attached to this church, and the oldest in the 
neighborhood is that of the Knickerbacker family, on the site 
of an Indian cemetery. The first burial of a European oc- 
curred in 1715. A few rods south-east of this spot is the 
" Witenagemote," or " Council Tree," a remarkably vigorous 
and symmetrical oak, the trunk of which measures twenty feet 
in circumference. The first installed pastor of the Church was 
Kev. Elias VanBunschooten. He was the clergyman whom tradi- 
tion reports as having performed the marriage service while the 
parties were on the opposite side of the Hoosick Eiver from the 
minister. It occurred at a ford about a mile above the junction 
of the Hudson and Hoosick Elvers. After the appointment 
Avas madd, the river became .suddenly swollen by rain, so that it 
was impassable for either party. But as marriages cannot well 
be postponed without great inconvenience to the parties, the 
minister took his station upon one bank of the river, and the 
parties to be united on the other, while the ceremony was duly 
performed according to the ritual of the Dutch Church. The 
Dominie informed the happy bridegroom that if the guilder 
was left at a neighboring house, it would be duly received. 

At the commencement of the Revolution a regiment was 
raised and placed under the command of Col. John Knicker- 
backer. He had charge of the fort at this place and accom- 
panied the regiment to Ticonderoga. On the approg,ch of Bur- 
goyne, most of the inhabitants fled to Albany, leaving their 
dwellings to the mercy of the British and Hessian soldiers, who 
occupied them for some time, but through the influence of the 
Tories did not burn the place. 

The following advertisement was copied from the Northern 
Budget, of July 1805. 

"SCHAGHTICOKE PoiNT.

manner. C. Jot." 

"July 1, 1805." 

In ] 777, Derrick Van Veghten was shot and scalped by the 
Indians. His tobacco box was perforated by the ball which killed 
him ; it is still in the possession of his descendants. His father, 
Herman Van Veghten, was shot by the Indians in 1746. At 
the close of the war, the inhabitants returned to their agricul- 
tural pursuits. 

John J. Bleecker was one of the early settlers of this town, 
locating there previous to the Eevolutionary War. On the ap- 
proach of Burgoyne, Mr. Bleecker went to Albany to seek a 
place of safety for his family. He had scarcely been gone a day 
when Mrs.* Bleecker received intelligence that the enemy were 
within two miles of the village, burning and murdering all be- 
fore them. Greatly terrified, she immediately took her young- 
est child in her arms, while another one about four years old 
walked by her side, accompanied by a young mulatto, girl, and 
leaving her house and furniture to the mercy of the enemy, 
started on foot for Albany. The roads were crowded with car- 
riages loaded with women and children, but none could afford 
her any assistance. After walking four or five miles she ob- 
tained a seat for the children upon one of the wagons while she 
continued her journey on foot to Lansingburgh, then called 
Stone Arabia, "where she expected to find many friends ; but 
she was deceived; no door was open to her whose house by 
many ,of them had been made use of as a home. She wandered 
from house to house and at length obtained a place in the gar- 
ret of a rich old acquaintance, where a couple of blankets 
stretched upon some boards were offered as a bed. She however 
^at up all night and wept, and the next morning, Mr. Bleecker, 
coming from Albany, met with them and returned to that city, 
from whence they set off with several other families by water." 
— [Mem. of Mrs! Bleecker.'^ They went to Eed Hook, and, after 
the surrender of Burgoyne, returned to their former home, 
where, they enjoyed tolerable tranquility until August 1781, 
when Mr. Bleecker, with two other men, was taken prisoner 
while engaged in the harvest field, and, with their captors, 
started for Canada. Mrs. B. awaited with anxiety the return of 
her husband, and, at length, apprehensive that something unu- 
sual had occurred, dispatched a servant who soon returned with 
the account that the men were nowhere to be seen, but the 
horses and wagOn were in the road, tied to a tree. As small par-

ties from Canada were known to be skulking in the woods, Mrs. 
B. was at no loss to account for the absence of her husband. — 
The neighbors were immediately alarmed and the woods 
searched, but no trace of the prisoners or of their captors could 
be found. Though it was near night, Mrs. B. started immedi- 
ately for Albany, giving up her husband as lost. Fortunately 
Mr. B. was retaken by a party from Bennington, and returned 
to his wife in a few days. Mrs. Bleecker appears to have been 
a lady of considerable talent as a writer, a volume of her wri- 
tings, in connection with her memoirs, being published in 
1793. 

Among the instances of barbarous captivity and massacre 
during the French and Indian War, none is more shocking than 
that of the Kittle families. Mr. Kittle settled in this town be- 
fore the War, about the year 1736, where they enjoyed all the 
comforts which the country afforded. About a year after their 
marriage they were blessed with a daughter who became a fa- 
vorite with the Indians as well as with her parents and friends. 
When Anna, for that was the daughter's name, was about twelve 
years old, she had the pleasure of greeting a little brother. 
When the news of the horrid massacres and depredations of the 
savages reached the ears of Mr. Kittle, he became alarmed at the 
danger of his brothers then residing near Fort Edward, and in- 
vited them to reside with him during the War. Scarcely had 
his brothers become settled with him, when the incursions of 
the savages in the country approaching their own residence, 
sparing neither age or sex, so alarmed them that they resolved 
to remove to the vicinity of Albany. While packing up and 
making ready for their journey, several Indians whose wigwams 
were in the vicinity and who had always appeared well dispos- 
ed towards the English, called and assured Mrs. Kittle that she 
should be apprised in case of danger, and to make her more con- 
fiding in his friendship, one of them presented her with a belt 
interwoven with silk and beads, as a token of friendship. 
Though Mr. K. appeared less inclined to trust the Indians than 
did his wife, they decided to suspend their journey to Albany 
for a few days. The next day, according to j*-evious arrange- 
ment, Mr. K. and his brother Peter went on a hunting excur- 
sion, not without some forebodings of the evils that awaited 
them. At length, weary with their journey and seeing no game 
of value, they resolved to return home. While passing along 
the bank of the river, within a few miles of their home, tliey 
saw a fine fat doe, which Peter, by a well directed shot, brought 
to the ground. Shortly after the discharge of his gun, two sav- 
ages appeared and immediately discharged their pieces at the 
brothers, killing Peter almost instantly. Mr. Kittle immediate- 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 117 

ly Shot one of the Indians and, with the butt end of his gun, 
felled the other to the ground, leaving both for dead. He then 
placed the body of his brother upon the horse and proceeded to- 
wards home. On his arrival he made known the circumstances 
of his disaster, ordered a horse that he might proceed imme- 
diately to the village of Schaghticoke for wagons to remove his 
family to some safe retreat. He had been gone but a short time 
when the tramping of horses feet and the yell of voices an- 
noiinced the arrival of Indians, who §oon demanded admittance. 
The work of destruction was sudden and awful ; a brother of 
Mr. Kittle's, with his wife, were murdered in the most shocking 
manner. Mrs. K., and her brother-in-law, Henry Kittle, were 
tarken prisoners, but her children perished in the flames of the 
house, which the Indians plundered and set on fire. Mr. K. re- 
turned to find his house in ashes, the mangled bodies of one 
brother and sister-in-law, and the charred remains of his child- 
ren, but no tidings of the others, who he supposed had perished 
in the flames. After suffering the usual hardships of a journey, 
the captives arrived in Montreal, where Mrs. K. found one of 
her old neighbors, Mrs. Bratt, who had previously been taken 
prisoner. For two years Mrs. K. received the kind attentiotis of 
the ladies of Montreal, but failed in all of her endeavors to ob- 
tain the least information respecting her husband. Her letters 
would sometimes be returned to her after wandering through 
various provinces without reaching him for whom they were de- 
signed. At length after a long and fruitless search for his long 
lost brother, Mr. Kittle found him in Montreal, and then for the 
first time heard that his wife had been made a captive and was 
not murdered. The meeting was as if one had risen from the 
dead, and the happiness of meeting can only be imagined. 



Henry Miller was another of the early settlers of this town, 
and his descendants still reside there. He and his wife were 
from Germany, and came over at an early day. Having arrived 
in New York after a tedious voyage, he left his family and took 
passage with a Dutch skipper for Albany, to seek a spot upon 
the vacant lands of this State. From Albany he went on foot 
to seek a home for his family, and while traveling along the 
banks of the Hudson, admiring the beauty of the scenery and 
buoyant with hopes for the future, he suddenly met one of his 
old companions with whom he had served in the army in the 
old country. The interview was mutually agreeable. Mr. Mil- 
ler went to the home of his old friend, was pleased with the 
country, and, with the aid of his new friends, erected a log cabin 
to which he removed his family in a few days, and thus became 
one of the early settlers of Schaghticoke.

The population of the townin 1865 was 3,054, and its area 
26,900 acres. 

SCHO DACK was formed March 17, 1795, at the time of 
the division of Bensselaerivyck. Parts of Berlin and Nassau 
were taken off in 1806. It lies upon the Hudson in the south- 
west corner of the County. From the river the surface rises in 
a series of bluffs 200 feet high, from the summits of which it 
spreads out into an undulating upland, inclined to the west. — 
Bunker Hill, the highest point, is about 500 feet above tide. 
The surface is intersected by numerous deep gulleys worn by 
the small streams. The principal streams are Vierdee Kil, 
Moordeners Kil, Vlockie Kil, Muitzes Kil and Valatie Kil. — 
Moordeners Kil (Murderers Kil) was so called, says tradition, 
from an obstinate battle fought between the settlers and a band 
of robbers at an early day. Adams Killetye is a small creek, so 
called from Adam Mall, who was taken prisoner by the Indians 
while drinkifig of its waters. The soil in the east is clay, and 
in the west a fertile sandy and gravelly loam. 

Castleton, (p. v.) situated on the Hudson River, about fourteen 
miles below Troy, contains two churches, viz :^Iethodist and 
Reformed ; a hotel, six stores, a stove and tinmiop, a jewelry 
store, a lumber yard, five brick yards, and a population of about 
600. Eive barges run between this village and New York, two 
of them carrying produce and three of them brick. 

Schodack Landing, (p. v.) in the south-west part of the town, 
on the river, is a station on the Hudson River R. R. and con- 
tains a Reformed church, two hotels, and about 250 inhabitants. 

South Schodack (p. v.) is a station on the Boston and Albany 
R. R., containing about 100 inhabitants. 

Muitzes Kill is a hamlet on Muitzes Kil Creek, and contains 
about 20 dwellings. 

Schodack Depot (p. v.) contains about twenty dwellings. 

This town appears to have been visited by Hudson while on 
his voyage up the River in 1609, and was thickly inhabited by 
native tribes. When near the site of Castleton, he went on 
shore and was received with the greatest hospitality by the Gov- 
ernor of the country, who was Chief over forty men and seven- 
teen women. This Chief occupied a house made of the bark of 
trees, very smooth and well finished. Large quantities of corn 
and laeans were found, sufficient, the early accounts say, to load 
three ships, besides what were still in the fields not yet harvest- 
ed. On arriving at the house two mats were brought forward 
and spread upon the ground for Hudson to sit upon. Food was

also brought in well made wooden bowls and men were dis- 
patched with bows and arrows to bring in game. They soon 
returned with a good supply of pigeons, to which was added a 
fat dog killed and skinned with shells from the river. The 
feast was got up without regard to expense, and doubtless was 
relished by the natives, if not by their guests. The land is de- 
scribed as the finest ever seen for tillage, and timber in large 
quantities fit for ship building was growing upon its surface. — 
Pumpkins, grapes and other fruits were abundant. The na- 
tives exchanged furs and other articles for beads, knives, hatch- 
ets and whatever else the sailors conld spare. When the Chief 
found that Hudson would not remain upon shore over night, 
and supposing that it was through fear of their bows and ar- 
rows, he caused the arrows to be broken and thrown into the 
fire. 

The first settlements were made by tenants under Van Ren- 
selaer. Over forty settlers are mentioned in Bleecker's survey 
in 1767. Among them we find the names of Van 
Buren, Barhudt, Van Valkenburgh, Springsteen, Schermerhorn, 
Janze, Ketel, Poel; Miller, Schevers, Lodwick, Huyck, Beek- 
man, Mills, Molls, Salsberg, Witbeck and Nolton. 

The first mill was built Ijefore the Revolution, below Castle- 
ton. 

The first inn was kept by a man named Barhydt, in 1778. A 
carding mill was erected on Muitzes Kil in 1800. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 4,015, and its 
area 36,666 acres. 

The number of school districts having their school houses in 
this town is fourteen, employing fifteen teachers. The number 
of children of school age is 1,317 ; the number attending school 
909 ; the average attendance, 378, and the amount expended 
for school purposes during the year ending September 30th, 
18G9,was 16,518.80. 

STBPMMNTOWJS', named in honor of Stephen Van 
Rensselaer, was formed from Rensselaerwyck, March 29, 1784. 
Petersburgh was taken off" in 1794, and parts of Berlin and Nas- 
sau in 1806. It lies in the south-east corner of the County. 
The surface consists of two rocky, mountainous ranges, separat- 
ed by the valley of Kinderhook Creek. The highest summits 
are about 1,800 feet above tide. The principal peaks are Round 
Mountain, and Whitney and Butternut Hills, east of the valley, 
and Brockway Hill and Webster Mountain on the west. Ex- 
tensive forests cover a portion of the .town. The principal 
streams are Kinderhook and East Creeks, Black River, Black 
and Roaring Brooks. The soil is hard and sterile among the 
mountains, but a gravelly loam in the valleys.

Stephentown, (p. y.) situated on Kinderhook Creek, contains 
two churches and about twenty dwellings. 

Stefhentown Flats, on the same stream, contains a cotton bat- 
ting factory, a machine shop and about twenty-five dwellings. 

Mechanicsville, on Black Eiver, contains a church, a saw mill, 
a grist mill, a brush factory, four turning shops and about 
twenty-five dwellings. 

West Stephentown, 

North Stephe7itown and 

South Stephentown are post offices. 

The first settlement of this town was commenced about 1766. 
Asa Douglas, his son William, and his grandson Benjamin, Na- 
than Eose, Elnathan Sweet and Joseph Eogers settled near the 
center of the town, and Joshua Gardner in the east part, at a 
very early day. Edward Carr settled near Kinderhook Creek, 

and John Mills, ■ Husted, Lewis, Berry and 

others settled in the north part. Most of the early settlers were 
from Ehode Island. 

The first child born in the town was William Douglas, a 
grandson of Asa, one of the first settlers. He afterwards mar- 
ried the first white female born in the town. The late Hon. 
Stephen A. Douglas was a descendant of the first settler. The 
first church (Baptist) was organized in 1783, under Eev. Justus 
Hall. Eev. Eobert Miles was the first pastor. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 2,026, and its area 
33,538 acres. 

The number of school districts is fifteen, employing the same 
number of teachers. The number of children of school age is 
717 ; the number attending school 536 ; the average attendance 
214, and the amount expended for school purposes during the 
3^ear ending September 30th, 1869, was 13,528.57. 

TJ^OJT was formed as a tojvn, from RensselaerivycJc,'M.?LYQ\i 
18, 1791. Brunswick and parts of Grafton and Lansingbui-gh 
were taken off March 20, 1807, and apart of Greenbush in 1836. 
A part of Brunswick was aniiexed in 1814. The first village 
charter was passed in 1791, and another one in 1798. The vil- 
lage was formally incorporated by an act of the Legislature, 
passed April 2, 1801. This charter conferred limited powers on 
five Trustees, but the power of levying taxes was reserved to the 
voters. In 1805 the Charter was revised and the Trustees were 
authorized to raise a tax of $1,500 for night watch, lighting 
streets, &c., and $1,000 for contingent exi)enses. The village 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS, 121 

contained four wards, each of which elected one Trustee, the 
President being appointed by the Governor and Council of ap- 
pointment. Edward Tylee was the President for several years 
succeeding the year 1805. 

The City Charter was granted April 12, 1816. Col. Albert 
Pa'wling was the first Mayor. A portion of Lansingburgh was 
annexed May 4, 1836. It lies upon the Hudson, near the center 
of the west border of the County. Its surface comprises the al- 
luvial flat, from half to three-fourths of a mile in width, along 
the river, and the high bluffs which border it on the east. The 
high land upon the east border of the City is known as Mount 
Ida, and that upon the north-east as Mount Olympus. Mount 
Ida is chiefly clay and has been the scene of several destructive 
land slides. Poesten Kil and Wynants Kil both break through 
these hills in narrow ravines, and in a series of cascades, form- 
ing an excellent water-power. 

The City is quite regularly laid out. River Street following 
the general course of the river, and the other streets at right 
angles to each other. It contains many beautiful residences and 
public buildings, and is noted for the enterprise of its inhab- 
itants and its extensive manufactures. It also contains the 
County Buildings, Eensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy Fe- 
male Seminary, Provincial Seminary, about forty churches, sev- 
eral extensive iron manufactories, paper and linen collar manu- 
factories, manufactories of optical and mathematical instru- 
ments, safes, cotton and woolen goods, paper, &c., and about 
50,000 inhabitants. 

The Public Schools are under the charge of twenty Commis- 
sioners, elected for two years, one from each ward being elected 
annually. The schools are divided into four grades, viz., Pri- 
mary, intermediate. Grammar and High School Department, 
and are free to all residents of the City between the ages of five 
and twenty-one years. A school for colored children is estab- 
lished, aflFording facilities equal to those enjoyed by the mem- 
bers of the other schools. The number of teachers employed 
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1869, was 109. The number 
of persons between the ages of five and twenty-one years was 
16,700; the number attending school, 10,420; the average at- 
tendance, 4,690. The number attending private schools was 
2,183. The amount expended for teachers' wages, exclusive of the 
colored school, was $54,336.50; expenses of colored school, 
11,906.62 ; the whole amount expended for all purposes,including 
teachers' wages, buildings, apparatus, &c., was $104,676.85. The 
number of school buildings is fourteen, all but one of which are 
of brick, estimated value Il53,200w The estimated value of 
school lots is $51,800.

The Troy Academy was incorporated May 5, 1834. It is locat- 
ed on State Street, corner of Seventh. T. Newton Willson is 
the Principal. 

The Troy Female Seminary is located on Second Street, ad- 
joining a beautiful park. The germ of this Seminary was start- 
ed in Middlebury, Vt., in 1814, by Mrs. Emma Willard. In 
1819 it was removed to Waterford, N. Y., with the hope of se- 
curing aid from the State to establish a permanent institution. 
The expectations not being realized, and the school increasing 
to such an extent that no suitable building could be procured 

• for its accommodation, it was removed to Troy in 1 821, the City 
appropriating $4,000 for the erection of a building. It was in- 

, corporated May 6, 1837, and received under the care of the Re- 
gents Jan. 30, 1838. It has been enlarged at several different 
times, and for many years has enjoyed a national reputation, re- 
ceiving pupils from all parts of the United States. 

The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, located on Eighth Street, 
.at the head of Broadway, was established in 1834 through the 
liberality of Stephen Van Rensselaer. The Institute embraces 
four separate courses of study, on completing which the student 
is entitled to an appropriate diploma. The curriculum em- 
braces a course of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, 
Mining Engineering and Natural Science. . 

The Provincial Seminary is a theological institution under the 
control of the Roman Catholics. It is located upon the high- 
lands which overlook the City, and occupies the spacious build- 
ing and grounds formerly occupied by the Troy University. The 
main building is in the Byzantine style of architecture, 259 feet 
in length, with an average width of 58 feet, and four stories higli. 

St. Peter's College is also under the control of the Roman 
Catholics. 

The Troy Hospital was incorporated March 1, 1851. It was 
founded chiefly through the exertions of Rev. P. Havermans 
and is controlled by the Roman Catholics. The nurses belong" 
to the Sisters of Charity. A new building is in process of erec- 
tion on Eighth Street, a portion of which is already completed. 

The Marshall Infirmary for the insane is located a short dis- 
tance from tlie business portion of the City. It was incorpo- 
rated in 1851. The building and grounds, valued at $35,000, 
were donated by Benjamin Marshall, the founder. 

The Troy Orphan Asylum was incorporated April 10, 1835. — 
It was originally located on Grand Division Street, but during 
the great fire of May 1862, it was burned, and afterwards re- 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 123 

built on Eighth Street, in the north part of the City. The 
Asyhim is supported by donations and State appropriations. 

St. Mary's Orphan Asylum is an institution connected with St. 
Mary's Church (Roman Catholic). The male department is 
under the charge of " The Brothers of the Christian Schools," 
and the female under that of the " Sisters of Charity." 

The Warren Free Institute, a school for indigent female children, 
was incorporated March 19, 1846. It is located on Eighth 
Street, at the head of Grand Division. It was founded and en- 
dowed by the Warren family. The Protestant Episcopal Church 
of the Holy Cross is connected with the Institute. 

The Troy Young Men's Association was organized December 
22, 1834, with the following officers, viz : John T. McCoun, 
President; David L. Seymour, Henry Landon and Thomas 
Coleman, Vice Presidents ; John T. Lamport, Recording 
Secretary ; G-iles B. Kellogg, Corresponding Secretary ; and 
Charles E. Seymour, Treasurer. The first rooms occupied 
by the Association were at No. 197 River Street. The first an- 
nual meeting under the constitution was held February 16, 
1835, at which time the Association numbered 450 members. — 
The Library at that time contained about 1,200 volumes, in- 
cluding 600 or 700 volumes loaned by the " Troy Library." The 
Association now occupy rooms in the Athenaeum Building. 

The Reading Room is furnished with the leading newspapers 
from all parts of the country, and the principal magazines, re- 
views, &c. The Library contains about 18,000 volumes. The 
Association sustain a course of lectures annually. In 1862 Mr. 
Wm. R. Yourt made the Association a bequest of 15,000, $3,000 
of which were, by direction of his will, expended in books, un- 
der the direction of his executors, C. L. Alden and John Yourt. 
The remaining $2,000 were to be invested in good securities, 
the interest to be applied to making additions to the Alcove 
called after Mr. Yourt's name. In June 1868, Mr. G-. M. 
Tibbits made the Association a present of a fine bronze statu- 
ette of Abraham Lincoln. It was obtained by Mr. T. in Munich, 
during his travels in Europe. It is a reduced copy of a larger 
one cast for the city of Chicago. It is about two feet eleven 
inches high, and standing upon a neat pedestal three aud a 
half feet high, forms a very suitable ornament to the Library. 
We are indebted to the Librarian, Mr. F. H. Stevens, for the 
facts herein contained, as well as for the opportunity to consult 
the Library during the preparation of this work. 

There are several cemeteries in and around Troy, the largest 
and finest of which is 



124 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

Oahtvood, situated on an eminence overlooking Troy, Albany, 
Lansingburgh, Waterford and Coboes. It lies chiefly in the 
town of Lansingburgh, contains many beautiful monuments, is 
laid out in good taste and kept in fine order. ' It is under the 
control of the Troy Cemetery Association. 

Mount Ida, Neiu Mount Ida and St. Mary's Cemeieries are lo- 
cated within the corporate limits of the City. 

The Troy Water Works were built by the City in 1833-4, and 
have since been extended as the necessities of the City demanded. 
The water is drawn from Piscawin Creek, and the reservoir is 
of suflficient hight to throw water to the top of most of the 
houses. The works are under the charge of Water Commis- 
sioners, and the rents are charged to property owners and col- 
lected with the taxes. 

The Troy Union R. R. Co. is composed of persons representing 
the interests of the Hudson River and ,N. Y. Central, Troy and 
Boston, and Eensselaer and Saratoga Railroads. A Union Depot 
was erected in 1853-4, 400 by 150 feet, walls 2^ feet high, and 
a roof composed of a single arch. It had a tower 110 feet high, 
and four complete suits of rooms and offices. This structure 
was burned in May 1862. A new building has been erected 
upon the same site and about the same size, though differing 
somewhat in style. It is located on Sixth Street, between Broad- 
way and Fulton Streets. 

The Troy Iron Works, of Messrs. Burden & Sons, located in 
the south part of the City, manufacture nails, railroad spikes, 
horse-shoes, merchant iron^ &c. The Troy Iron and Nail Fac- 
tory, incorporated in 1812, was the germ of the present exten- 
sive Works. Mr. Henry Burden became agent and manager of 
the Works in 1821, which at that time consisted of a small wood- 
en building, containing two water-wheels attached to a single 
pair of rollers for manufacturing nail and spike rods,. and a few 
machines for making nails. Mr. Burden was an ingenious me- 
chanic, and set about inventing and improving labor-saving 
machines, the result of which is some of tke most important in- 
ventions of the age. The upper works consist of the main 
building, containing the forge and rolling mill, and is 400 by 
75 feet, built against the perpendicular face of the rock which 
forms the bank of the ravine. A stone structure, 46 by 130 
feet, contains the horse-shoe machines, while attached are other 
buildings containing the spike and rivet factory, punching 
shop, foundry, machine shop, &c. These works are driven* by 
an immense over-shot wheel, sixty feet in diameter and twenty-

two feet in length, with buckets six'^feet four inches in depth, 
equal to 1000 horse power. A single spike machine turns out 
45 railroad spikes per minute. Twenty puddling furnaces are 
also in the room. The machines for making horse-shoes turn 
out sixty shoes each per minute. The nail holes are punched 
by another machine. Some idea of the immense business in 
this department may be had from the fact that during four 
years ending with 1868 the Burden Works manufactured in 
round numbers twenty-five thousand tons of horse-shoes, or, at 
one and a half pounds per shoe, over thirty-three millions of 
shoes. The merchant iron from this establishment is of a supe- 
rior quality. The "Steam Works" of Messrs. Burden & Sons 
were commenced about 1862, and consist of blast-furnace, forge 
and rolling mills. They are located between the railroad and 
the Hudson River, on land that has been raised about eleven 
feet above the original level. The river has been dredged for 
about a mile and the navigation greatly improved. The Works 
give employment to about 1,500 workmen. The blast-furnaces 
have a capacity of about 75 tons per day. 

Albany Iron Works, owned by Erastus Corning and Erastus 
Corning, Jr., are located on the Wynants Kil, in the immediate 
vicinity of the Burden Works. In 1809 John Brinkerhoff, of 
Albany, erected a small foundry and rolling mill for converting 
Swede and Eussia iron bars into plates. These plates were sub- 
sequently partially cut into nails, the nails being headed by 
hand. Brinkerhoff transferred these Works to Corning, Win- 
slow & Co., who enlarged and run them for several years. The 
production in 1835 was six and a half tons per day. The Works 
assumed their present name in 1837. The Works are designated 
as the " Water Mill," " Steam Mill " and " Star Forge." The 
first puddling was done in 1838. There are now thirty-four 
puddling furnaces. The manufactures consist of merchant 
iron, railroad chairs, car axles, rivets, spikes, naiJs, horse-shoes, 
&c. About 750 hands are employed, at an expense of 1250,000 
per year. The value of the merchant iron, railway car axles, 
chairs, &c., made annually, is about $1,750,000; value of rivets, 
spikes, &c., $400,000 ; nails 140,000 ; horse-shoes 140,000. The 
patent solid lip railroad chairs were invented here and have 
had an immense sale. 

Rensselaer Iron WorJc.s were started in 1846 by Le Grand Can- 
non and his son Le G-rand D. Cannon, and Peter A. Burden, 
with a capital of $100,000. The Works were subsequently 
greatly enlarged and the company re-organized. The present 
proprietors are John A. Griswold, Erastus Corning, Erastus

Corning, Jr., and Chester Griswold, They manufacture rail- 
road iron, merchant iron and steel, car axles, &c., and give em- 
ployment to between 500 and 600 hands. . They have blast-fur- 
naces at Hudson and Fort Edward. The annual product is 
valued at about 12,500,000. 

Bessemer Steel Works are owned and operated by the same 
company. •• 

The Manufactory of Civil Engineers' and Surveyors' Instru- 
ments, by W. & L. E, Gurley, is one of the largest in the country, 
and their instruments have no superior in the State. 

The Chain Works of J. B. Carr & Co., located in the upper 
part of the City, have been erected within the last few years and 
form an important item in the manufactures of the City. 

The Paper and Linen Collar Manufactories are numerous and 
extensive, giving employment to a large number of persons. 

In 1720 Derick Vanderheyden obtained from Van Eensselaer, 
the proprietor of Eensselaerwyck, the title to 490 acres of land 
lying between the Poesten Kil and Meadow Creek, and em- 
bracing the original allotments of Troy, paying an annual rent 
of three bushels and three pecks of wheat, and four fat fowls. 
This land was possessed by the grantee and his descendants, 
and portions of it were cultivated as a farm. It attracted but 
little attention until after the Revolution, when a few New Eng- 
landers persuaded the Dutch proprietors to lay out a portion of 
it into lots. About 1786, when the Yankees made their ap- 
pearance, there were three ancient brick dwellings within the 
present limits of the City. The most northern of these houses 
stood between Hoosick and Vanderheyden Streets, and a short 
distance east of Eiver Street. It was occupied by Jacob I. Van- 
derheyden, grand- son of the original lessee, and familiarly 
known as " Big Jacob." Jacob D. Vanderheyden, the proprie- 
tor of the middle farm, situated between Division and Grand 
Division Streets, occupied a residence at the south-west corner 
of Eighth and Grand Division Streets. He died in 1809, leaving 
several sons, one of whom built and occupied as a residence 
what is now the International Hotel, corner of River and Ferry 
Streets. The last was the residence of Matthias Vanderheyden, 
and is still standing at the south-east corner of Division and 
River Streets. From 1786 to 1790 the place was known by va- 
rious names, as Ferry Hook, Vanderheyden'' s Ferry and Ashley's 
Ferry. 

Stephen Ashley and Benjamin Covell were the earliest set- 
tlers under the Vanderheydens. They came in about 1786, and 



OAZETTEER OE TOWNS. 127 



Mr. Ashley opened a tavern in the old farm house at the corner 
of Division and Eiver Streets. Among the other early settlers 
were Dr. Samuel Grale, Ephraim Morgan, John Boardman, Ben- 
jamin Smith, Philip Heartt,_ Anthony Goodspeed, Mahlon Tay- 
lor, Ebenezer Wilson and Samuel Wilson. 

In 1788 Elkanah Watson visited the place, passing from Sche- 
nectady, across a thickly settled country, embracing many fine 
farms, to " Ashley's Ferry," six miles above Albany. He says : 
" On the east side of the river, at this point, a new town has re- 
cently been laid out, named Vanderheyden, at the head of navi- 
gation. Several bold and enterprising adventurers have already 
settled here, and a number of capacious warehouses and several 
dwellings have already been erected." " It bids fair to be a se- 
rious thorn in the side of ISTew City, but in the issue a fatal ri- 
val." New City was the name by which Lansingburgh was 
called at that time. 

In the spring of 1789 the place contained five small stores 
and about a dozen dwellings. By vote -of the freeholders the 
village received the name of Troy, Jan. 5, 1789. On the organ- 
ization of Rensselaer County in 1791, a spirited contest was car- 
ried on between Troy and Lansingburgh for the location of the 
County Buildings. 

Dr. Samuel Gale came to Troy in 1787, from Killingworth, 
Conn. His family, consisting of a wife, a daughter and four 
sons, together with his furniture, medicines, &c., were placed on 
board a sloop, in August of this year, with the intention of set- 
tling in New City. Owing to adverse winds, he was three weeks 
in making the passage to Troy. Through the influence of J. 
D. Vanderheyden, who kindly offered him the use of half his 
own house until he could be otherwise provided for, he was in- 
duced to settle in Troy. He immediately commenced the erec- 
tion of a double frame house on the west side of River Street, 
below Ferry, where he lived until his death in 1799. His sons, 
Benjamin, John, Samuel and William, were among the early 
merchants. Samuel Gale was post master from 1804 to 1828. 

The post office was established in 1793 or 1794, and John 
Woodworth was the first post master, holding the office until 
1800, when he was succeeded by David Buel. For several years 
Troy was a general depot for all mail matter throughout an ex- 
tensive region of country, north, east and west. Letters were 
carried to distant places by the newspaper post-riders, before 
mail routes and post offices were established. The publishers of 
the Albany 6^aze^/e established a line to Niagara and delivered 
letters free of expense, through their post-riders, to all places

on their route where there were no post offices. These riders 
traveled on horseback, and when the business was not sufficient 
to pay, subscriptions were sometimes raised for the purpose. 
The following is a copy of a post-rider's advertisement in the 
Northern Budget. We regret that we cannot give a fac-simile of 
the cut at its head : 

" News ! News f Aaron Oliver, Post-Rider, wishes to inform 
the public that he has extended his roiite and that he now rides 
through the towns of Troy, Pittstown, Hoosick, Mapleton, part 
of Bennington and Shaftsbury, Petersburgh, Stephentown, 
Greenbush and Schodack. All commands in his line will be re- 
ceived with thanks and executed with punctuality. He returns 
his sincere thanks to his former customers and' intends by un- 
abated diligence to merit a continuance of their favors." 

< " O'er rugged hills and valleys wide, 

He never yet has failed to trudge it ; 
As steady as the flowing tide, 



He hands about the Northern Budget." 



"June 18, 1799; 



During the first ten years after Troy had a name among the 
places of the earth, mills were erected and a considerable trade 
in lumber, pot and pearlashes was carried on with the towns at 
the north, and in Vermont. Mahlon Taylor erected a flouring 
mill on the Poesten Kil ; another was erected soon after, near 
Ida Falls, by Moses Vail ; and a third near the mouth of Wy- 
nants Kil, by Mr. Witbeck. Quite a numfeer of stores were 
erected on Eiver Street, between Broadway and Ferry Streets. 
The first brick dwelling erected after the commencement of the 
village, was by James Spencer, in 1795, on what is now Wash- 
ington Square. In 1799 four brick dwellings were erected, viz., 
No. 31 First, and 20 and 32 Second Street, and one at the cor- 
ner of Pi,iver and Washington Streets. In 1794 the population 
was estimated at from 400 to 500, and at the close of the cen- 
tury it amounted to 1,100 or 1,200, most of the dwellings being 
on First and Second Streets, and the stores on River. One of 
the stores on River Street was built and occupied by Abraham 
Ten Eyck, Albert Pawling and Conrad J. Elmendorf. Isaac 
Merritt occupied a store on the west side of River Street, near 
the site of the Troy House. 

Col. Albert Pawling was a native of Dutchess or Ulster Co., 
and son of Col. Levi Pawling, an efficient officer of the Revolu- 
tion. He joined the army in 1775 as Second Lieutenant in a 
regiment commanded by Col. James Clinton, and went to Can- 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 129 

ada. He served under Montgomery and returned in 1776 with 
that unsuccessful expedition. He was appointed Brigade Major 
in 1786, under G-eneral G-eorge Clinton, and served until 1777, 
when he was promoted to be Major of one of the sixteen addi- 
tional regiments commanded by Col. William Malcom. He re- 
signed, notwithstanding the following letter from Washington, 
the original of which is in the Library of the Troy Young Men's 
Association : 

"Head Quarters Middlebrook, ) 
2d March 1779. f 
"Sir, 

» In your letter of the 25th ult. you seem to have miscon- 
ceived the intention of Congress, upon which is founded your 
application for leave to resign. It is not their jsurpose to re- 
duce Col. Malcom's regiment. This will be incorporated with 
Col. Spencer's, and as you are the only Major in the two regi- 
ments, of course you will be continued. After considering the 
just claims which the country has on good officers I am per- 
suaded you will suspend your application. 

I am Sir, 
Your most h'ble serv't, 

Geo. Washingtoij." 
"Major Pawling." 

It is stated that Col. Pawling was a Colonel of a regiment pf 
Swiss, raised for the defense of the frontiers of New York, in 
which he served till the close of the War. 

The Warren family came to Troy from Connecticut at an 
early day and entered into mercantile business. Esaias, Na- 
than and Stephen occupied a store on River Street, and were 
engaged in the produce and carrying trade to New York.— 
Esaias was the first President of the Troy Bank. The McCoun 
family came in 1793 or '94 ; their store was nearly opposite the 
Mansion House. Philip Heartt was at an early day connected 
in business with Benjamin Smith and Joseph Eussel. Stephen 
Ashley kept an inn for two or three years at the place were he 
•first located, corner of River and Division • Streets. He after- 
wards removed to the corner of Ferry and River, to what was 
known afterwards as Babcock's Tavern. His sign had painted 
upon it a portrait of Washington in the center, and the words 
" Why here is Ashley's," surrounding the portrait. Jeremiah 
Prince opened a tavern near the Ferry in 1793. His son suc- 
ceeded him for many years. Howard Moulton kept a tavern 
on the site of the Female Seminary.

From copies of the Northern Budget published from 1805 to 
1808, we have been able to learn the names and business of 
many of the prominent business men. Among the advertise- 
ments we find the following, dated June 11, 1805 : 

''John E. Wool is just opening for sale a fresh and elegant 
assortment of fashionable Dry Goods," After enumerating a 
large number of articles, he adds, "likewise a good assortment 
of Groceries." " Said Wool assures his customers and the pub- 
lic that the above goods (with a very few exceptions) will be 
sold as low as they can be purchased in the city of New York 
for ready pay." 

E. Warren & Co. advertise "100 barrels of Connecticut Eiver 
Shad this day landing and for sale." The same firm also ad- 
vertise "25 hhds of St. Croix, Jamaica and Antigua Eum." — 
Jones, Smith & Co. advertise "Crockery, Glass and China Ware," 
saying that they have taken part of the store occupied by Heartt 
& Smith. Thoral Kilborn and Nehemiah Smith advertise Mer- 
chant Tailoring establishments. The paper contained a good 
assortment of news, though some of it would be regarded as 
rather old in these days of telegraphs and railroads. The paper 
of June 11th contained the account of the organization of the 
Massachusetts Legislature, which occured May 29th. Hon. 
Harrison Gray Otis was elected President of the Senate, and 
Timothy Bigelow Speaker of the House of Eepresentatives.— 
The publishers of the Budget, Messrs. Moflfitt & Lyon, call at- 
tention to the fact that they have recently "procured a new and 
very expensive set of types from the celebrated foundry of Dr. 
Winslow, Glasgow." They also call the attention of their de- 
linquent subscribers in the following manner, viz : "Unless cer- 
tain small strips of paper current at the banks are speedily 
enclosed to us, or other means of payment provided, all who are 
one year in arrears will have their paper discontinued in the 
course of a few weeks." Elam Lynds oifers ten dollars for a 
runaway apprentice to the hatting business. John Diefendorf 
and George Dunckel offer a reward of $80 for two runaway ne- 
groes, or 140 for either of them. The Fourth of July was duly 
celebrated, the utmost harmony, hilarity and good order prevail- 
ing throughout the day. An oration was delivered in the Pres- 
byterian Church, by J. L. Billings, " satisfying the most san- 
guine expectations of his audience." Among the toasts we se- 
lect the following as indicating the political proclivities of the 
times : 

"Our Sister State, New Hampshire — emerged from a long 
night of darkness, having burst asunder the Liliputian ties Avith 
which Federalism had bound her in her first slumbers." 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 131, 

"Massachusetts — she will shortly become a firm pillar in the 
Eepublic. Her triumph, though slow, is sure." 

''Connecticut — struggling against the Union of Church and 
State, her accession to the Republican ranks, though last will 
not be least." 

Jonathan Huntington advertises a singing school at the 
White School House, a few rods south-east of tlie Court House, 
from six to nine o'clock on Thursday and Saturday evenings. 

December 3, 1805, Moses Craft advertises a House of Enter- 
tainment at the north end of the village, where he keeps the 
best of hay and stabling for thirty span of horses, and has a 
good yard for wagons and a store room for goods. He also kept 
a " Register Book " of goods to be carried into the country. 

Charles H. Wetmore advertises that he will open a school on 
" Monday, Jan. 6, 1806, in the chamber of the house now occu- 
pied by Capt. Webb, nearly opposite Mr. E. Pennimen's, in 
which will be taught, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar 
and Latin and Greek. The utmost attention will be paid to 
the morals of the scholars." 

Piatt Titus advertises that the Troy & Albany stage runs 
twice a day, leaving his tavern at the upper end of First Street 
at 8 A. M. and 2 p. m. 

May 10, 1808, Daniel T. Wandell notifies the public that he 
has invented machinery for ferrying, which in the worst weather 
will propel a scow across the river in six minutes without hand 
labor and with perfect safety. He says he has applied for a pat- 
ent but does not describe his machinery. 

The following extract from the journal of Mr. John Lambert, 
an Englishman, who was traveling from Montreal to New York 
in 1807, gives some idea of the appearance of Troy at that time : 

"Troy is a well built town consisting chiefly of one street of 
handsome red brick houses, upwards of a mile and a half in 
length. There are two or three short streets which branch ofi* 
from the main one, but it is in the latter that all the principal 
stores, warehouses and shops are situated. It also contains sev- 

* eral excellent inns or taverns. The houses which are all new, 
are lofty and built with much taste and simplicity, though con- 
venience and accommodation seem to have guided the architect 
more than ornament. The deep red brick, well pointed, gives 

, the buildings an air of neatness and cleanliness seldom met with 
in old towns, but I cannot say that I admire it so much as the 



132 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

yellow brick of England. Troy has been erected within the last 
twenty years and is now a place of considerable importance. 
The trade which it has opened with the new settlements to the 
northward through the States of New York and Vermont as far 
as Canada is very extensive, and in another twenty years it 
promises to rival the old established city of Albany. Its pros- 
perity is indeed already looked upon with an eye of jealousy by 
the people of the latter place." 

From Troy he went to Albany by stage, intending to take the 
steamboat for New York, but the river was closed by ice, and 
navigation suspended. He says : " We were much disappoint- 
ed at this news as we were very desirous of seeing the construc- 
tion and management of this celebrated vessel which travels at 
the rate (A five miles an hour against wind and tide. It was built 
about four years ago under the direction of Mr. Fulton, an 
American gentleman of great mechanical abilities. The length 
of the boat is 160 feet and her breadth in proportion so as not 
too much to impede her sailing.' The machine which moves 
her wheels is called a twenty-horse machine or equal to the 
jDower of so many horses, and is kept in motion by steam from 
a copper boiler eight or ten feet in length. The wheels on each 
side are similar to water wheels and under cover ; they are moved 
backwards and forwards, separately or together at pleasure." 
" Her route is between JSTew York and Albany, a distance of 160 
miles, which she performs regularly twice a week, sometimes in 
the short space of thirty-two hours, exclusive of detention by 
taking in and landing passengers. She carries 100 to 120 peo- 
ple. Fare $7.00." 

Quite a contrast between this boat and those now running 
upon the same route. 

Several destructive land slides have occurred in Troy. The 
first one worthy of note occurred January 1, 1837. A large mass 
of the clayey earth from the hill east of the head of Washington 
Street, and extending for some distance each way, slid rapidly 
down, overwhelming everything in its course, covering several 
acres of ground and accompanied by a torrent of water. The 
mass carried with it two stables and three dwellings, crushing 
them into a thousand pieces. The stables and horses Avere 
moved over two hundred feet, into a hollow on the corner of 
Washington and Fourth Streets. A brick kiln was also de- 
stroyed by the avalanche. One of the dwellings was unoccupied, 
. another occupied by Mr. John Grace, wife and little boy. The 
parents were both killed but the boy escaped. Mrs. Leavenswortli

OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 133 

and her children occupied another of the houses ; she was so 
badly injured that she survived but a short time. Her two 
children were crushed to a jelly. There were 23 horses 
in the stables, sixteen of which were killed. The earth was 
piled up in the street from ten to forty feet deep. An article in 
the Troy Budget of Jan. 2, says : "The scene that presented it- 
self in the early part of the evening was awful in the highest, 
degree. The horrors of an earthquake could not have presented 
a more dreadful spectacle." Another slide occurred Feb. 1 7, 
1843, and was still more destructive to life and property. Be- 
tween thirty and forty persons were killed and ten dwellings 
were destroyed. The slide began about one hundred yards east 
of Fifth Street, destroyed two houses on the east side of the 
street and passed Washington to Hill, destroying the dwellings 
on both sides. The earth moved over a space of more than 500 
feet after reaching the level ground. The width of the slide 
was from two to three hundred yards, covering an area of sever- 
al acres. On the 21st of the same month another slide oc- 
curred about equal to the first. This occurred' in the day time, 
and moved so slowly that there was no difficulty in avoiding 
its path. , » , 

Troy has several times been scourged by destructive fires. — 
On the 20th of June, 1820, a fire broke out in a shed near First 
Street and consumed the wealthiest portion of the City. The 
buildings on both sides of Eiver Street, from a point oppo- 
site the Troy House to a point within a hundred feet of Con- 
gress, were entirely destroyed ; also the west side of First, from 
the third door above Congress, to Eiver Street. The loss was 
estimated at $370,000. On the 25th of August 1854, another 
destructive fire occurred, destroying property to the amount of 
^a,000,000. The most destructive fire occurred on the 10th of 
May, 1862. Iti^' occurred at mid-day and commenced in the 
Eailroad Bridge. The wind was blowing violently from the 
north-west, and thousands of burning shingles and other light 
materials were scattered before the wind, causing the fire to 
spread in a fearful manner. The Fire Department were power- 
less to stay its progress and at one time it seemed that all the 
central and south-eastern portion of the City was doomed. — 
More than one-fourth of the business portion of the City was 
burned and between 50 and 60 acres were covered with smould- 
ering ruins at sunset, of that memorable day. Several lives 
were lost and 671 buildings were burned. The loss was esti- 
mated at $3,000,000. Three churches, several hotels, the Poly- 
technic Institute, the Troy Academy, Orphan Asylum and the 
Union Depot were burned.

The early settlers of Troy were religious men, and public 
worship was held when the inhabitants were but few. The first 
services were held in a store, and afterwards a school house was 
their place of worship, where the people were called together by 
the sound of a conch-shell. Sermons were read by Dr. Gale or 
Col. Pawling. In 1791 the frame for a house of worship was 
erected, and the next year it was inclosed and soon after occu- 
pied. This was. the first edifice of the 

First Presbyterian Church. Rev. Jonas Coe was the first pas- 
tor, officiating several years at Troy and Lansingburgh on alter- 
nate Sabbaths. He was ordained and installed June 25, 1793. 
He resided at Lansingburgh during the early years of his min- 
istry, but about 1802 he removed to Troy. After holding the 
united charge for r early eleven years, the two congregations 
were dissolved and Mr. Coe continued pastor of the Church in 
Troy, until his death in 1822. He was succeeded by Rev. Dr. 
Beeman, whose successor was Rev. M. R. Vincent, the present 
pastor. 

During the latter part of the last century the currency of the 
country was specie, and the weekly colle^ctions in the churches 
were so small, on account of the scarcity of small change, that 
the First Presbyterian Church of Albany passed a resolution, 
Jan. 4, 1790, "That one thousand coppers be stamped, Church 
Penny, and placed in the hands of the Treasurer for the purpose 
of exchanging with the members of the congregation at the 
rate of twelve for one shilling, in order to add respect to the 
weekly collections." It is probable that the same necessity gave 
rise to paper money, which was issued by the First Presbyterian 
Church of Troy in 1792. The following is the form in which 
their church scrip was issued : 

I 

"Two Pence. 

» "By order of the Trustees of the Presbyterian Congregation 
in Troy, I promise to pay the bearer Two Pence on demand. 

B. Gorton, Treasurer." 
"August 28th, 1792." 

St. John^s Episcopal Church was erected in 1804, 

The Baptist Church on Third Street was erected in 1805. 

St. Jean Baptiste Church was organized in 1868 by Rev. Geo. 
Brown, with about 1500 members. A church edifice has been 
erected at a cost of $40,000, and capable of seating 900. The 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 135 



church belongs to the French Catholics of the City. Services 
are held in Latin and in French ; no English is spoken. 

The State Street M. E. Church, the first of that denomination 
erected in the City, was built in 1807 and 1 809. The first class 
was formed in 1801, Stephen Andress being a prominent mem- 
ber of the same. This class was broken up and scattered, one 
of its members finding a lodging in the State Prison. In 1804 
John Wright removed to Troy, and on inquiring if there were 
any Methodists there, was answered, "No, there were some but 
I believe they have all been sent to the State Prison." He how- 
ever found a small number worshiping in a private house. It 
is not known at what time the class was reorganized, but Ben- 
jamin Betts, who died in 1804 or 1805, was a member, as was 
also Caleb Curtis. Andress, Betts and Curtis were among the 
first members. As already stated their first house of worship 
was erected on State Street and accommodated all the members 
for twenty years. Troy first appears as an appointment in 1810, 
when Dr. Phoebus was the preacher. In 1813 Laban Clark, 
and in 1815, Tobias Spicer were the preachers. The charge at 
that time included Troy, Albia, West Troy, Lansingburgh and 
Brunswick, the entire' membership being 107. At the close of 
Mr. Spicer's term of service he reported 250 members. In 1827 
a new church was erected on State Street and has been occupied 
until the present time. A fine stone church is now in process 
of erection near the site of the old one, estimated to cost 
160,000. 

North Second Street M. E. Church was erected in 1835. 

ft 

Congress Street Church in 1848. 

The Farmers' Bank of Troy was incorporated in 1801. The 
charter extended to 1811 and provided that the capital stock 
should consist of five thousand shares of $50 each, and the 
whole amouift of property to be held by the Bank was limited 
to $300,000. The Directors, were to be selected from the follow- 
ing towns, viz., two from Waterford, five from Lansingburgh 
and six from Troy. The first Directors were Guest Van Schoon- 
hover and Samuel Stewart, from Waterfo'rd; Elijah Janes, 
Charles Selden, John D. Dickinson, James Hickok and William 
Bradley, from Lansingburgh ; John Woodworth, Daniel Merritt, 
Benjamin Tibbitts, Christopher Hutton, Townsend McCoun 
and Ephraim Morgan, of Troy. The charter provided that the 
buildings should be erected near the road leading from Troy to 
Lansingburgh, not further north than Mill Creek, and not fur-

flier south than the house of Joshua Eaymoud. John D. Dick- 
inson was the first President', and Hugh Peebles, Cashier. The 
books were opened for subscriptions, May 13, 1801, and May 31, 
1803, the Bank declared a dividend of four and a half per cent., 
although the whole stock had not been paid in. This was the 
first bank in Troy, where there are now fifteen, including four 
Savings Banks.

fo«^ /J 



For Y0HH8 Ladies aad Gentlenien, 

WAS FOUNDED IN 1838, 

And has enjoyed an almost unsurpassed repulatio?i 
for thorough disciptinej sc?iotars?iip and culture. 



Every advantage is offered for the pursuit of the Languages, English 
Branches, Vocal and Instrumental Music, and all at lower prices than at 
most Institutions. 

The Institute, as the name indicates, is situated in a retired and 
romantic part of the town, consequently the diversions from study are 
few. 

It is fifteen miles from Albany, and easy of access, being located 
between Albany and Lebanon Springs; the Stages pass from Albany 
daily, and the Brainerd Depot is only one mile distant. 

The general healrhfulness of the School during its long course of years, 
has been remarkable ; cases of sickness are rare. 

Extensive improvements have been made in the buildings, and every- 
thing that could be desired has been done for the comfort and happiness 
of the pupil.

necessary to their daily comfort, than dress that fits well, looks well, and wears well.— 
Fashion decrees this, and as taste and elegance are her handmaids, the nearc?r gentle- 
men's dress approaches the standard fashions of the day, so much more is it held in the 
estimation of those who appreciate a good personal appearance.

Note.— The City of Troy, having become celebrated for its Bells, has led some manufactur- 
ers at other places, to claim that they made their reputation. This, though entirely untrue, 
we accept as a most emphatic Indorsement of our Bells by our competitors. Thkke is no 
OTHEK BELL FOUNDBT AT TBOY BUT oxJBs ; and While We are glad to please our rivals by 
our superior work, we do not know why any reference should be made to it by them, unless 
to gain SOME advantage from the superiority of oiu- Bells.

Wheeler Jk Wilson Sewing 
Macliine.rr-A Sewing Machine in the 
family is not a foolish toy, but a really use- 
ful worker. It will save the time and 
health of ten women and do the work much 
easier and better. The Wheeler & Wilson 
Machine has securedand justly maintains a 
high reputation for sewing all kinds of ma- 
terial, and is a marvel of beauty in model 
and finish. It works equally well upon Silk, 
Linen, Cotton or Woolen goods, and does 
its work with a strength and beauty supe- 
rior to any hand work. 

The Scientific American says that "in 
point of effective work it is without a rival." 
The Editor of the JVew York Evangelist, 
says : " In our family we use one of Wheel 
er & Wilson's Sewing Machines, and can 
not imagine anything more perfect. It is 
very beautiful, simple in its construction, 
easily managed, not liable to get out of 
order, has a quiet movement and will do the 
work of a dozen female hands." The 
proprietors claim that the "Wheeler & 
Wilson Machine makes the only stitch 
that answers precisely the conditions 
required. It cannot be raveled or ripped, 
and forms a ernm alike on both sides 
of the fabric, served with greater econ- 
omy of thread, more firm, durable and 
beautiful than hand sewing. It stands the 
wear and teat of constant use better than 
any other machine, and will last a lifetime. 
For manufacturing purposes it is unequal- 
ed, and is the only machine that will stand 
the severe test of steam power as applied 
by the collar and shirt business of the city 
of Troy and vicinity." Andrew Aird & 
Bros., 380 River St., up stairs, Troy, N. Y., 
are the agents. Their card may be found 
on the Map of the County, accompanying 
.this work. 

W. & ^j. E. Gurley, manufacturers 
of Civil Engineers' and Surveyors' Instru- 
ments, 514 Fulton St., Troy, N. Y., publish

one of the best establishments of the kind 
in the United States. Their Instruments

George Habn, custom Boot Maker, 
No. 49 Slate St., Troy, N. Y., publishes a

W. F. Taylor, manufacturer of Fine 
Shirts, Berlin, N. Y., advertises on page 
224. We take pleasure in calling the atten- 
tion of our readers to this advertisement, 
as Mr. T. is one of the oldest and largest 
Shirt manufacturers in this County. He 
did not engage in the manufacture of cus- 
tom work until forced to do so by the re- 
peated solicitation of business men in Troy 
and vicinity. Among his prominent cus- 
tomers may be named James Hendrick, 
President of Hope Bank, Albany- John 
H. Plagg, Legislative Clerk, U. S. Senate ; 
Hon. H. D. Barron, 5th Auditor, U. 8. 
Treasury; Thomas Coleman, President 
First National Bank, Troy, and many oth- 
ers who assure us that they are well 
satisfied with the quality, finish and price 
of his goods. He sells from 6 to 12 dollars 
per dozen less than retail dealers. Mr. T. 
uses over 100 Wheeler & Wilson Sewing 
Machines, some of which are driven by a 
caloric engine. He employs none but the 
best of operators, and turns out from 100 
to 200 dozen per week. 

The Troy Dally Whig, is one of 

the oldest newspapers in the County, and 
the only morning paper in this part of the 
State, north of Albany. Its advantages to 
the business and reading portion of the

tisement on page 184. The weekly edition 
is a valuable family paper. The Book and 
Job Printing department is furnished with 
all the facilities for doing first-class work.

W. Scribner & Co. will furnish you with 
any desirable specimens of their work.

mend this House to the patronage of 
our readers.

geon, Nassau, N. Y., advertises on page 
220. He is prepared to treat all diseases of 
Horses or Cattle in a scientific manner.

and will attend to all calls. Let those in- 
terested give him a trial.

by Mr. Charles R. Brown, the senior mem- 
ber of the firm. They make all desirable 
styles, and of a quality that for durability 
and finish is unsurpassed. These Collars 
80 closely resemble linen that it is only by 
close examination that the difl'erence can 
be detected. The button holes are 
strengthened by cloth, and the other ma- 
terial of the Collars is so strong that for 
all practical purposes they Are equal to 
linen, while the cost is less than that of 
washing linen. Dealers and others will

C. S. Sill, dealer in Cloaks, Shawls Ac, 
10 and 12 second story, Broadway, N. Y., 
advertises on page 286. There has proba- 
bly never been a time since our mother 
Eve first made a garment of fig leaves, that 
the ladies have paid so much attention to 
dress as at the present time. Say what we 
may about the folly of extravagant display, 
no one can help admiring the taste dis- 
played in the beautiful dresse'fe of the pres- 
ent day. It is vain to attempt to describe 
the endless variety of trimming, draping 
and looping of the dresses seen in the 
streets every day, and to estimate the cost 
would require a skillful mathematician.— 
But the great question with the ladies is, 
" where can I procure the most stylish 
suit?" The answer is found by calling at 
Sills', second story of 10 and 12 Broadway, 
where they will find some of the richest and 
most fashionable goods in the city. The 
display of shawls is such as to satisfy the 
most fastidious. To all of our patrons we 
say call at Sills' before purchasing, and 
see if we have misrepresented the case. 

Walter A.Wood's Reaping andMow- 
ing Machines, advertised inside first cover, 
have been before the country for several 
years. These machines have been brought 
to a great degree of perfection, and the im- 
mense sales have compelled the manufac- 
turers to enlarge their works from time to 
time, until they have become the largest in 
the world. The demand for this and foreign 
countries is constantly increasing, and the 
Medals and First Premiums that liave been 
awarded these Machines in England,' 
France and America, far surpass those 
received by any other' machines. Over 
120,000 of them have already been sold. 
They are manufactured at Hoosick Falls, 
N. Y., by the Walter A. Wood Mowing and 
Reaping Machine Company. Their manu- 
factory was destroyed by fire in March 1870, 
and before the remains were cold, the plan 
for a new building was arranged, and in 
less than two weeks, work was commenced 
in the new building. The facilities for 
manufacturing are such that one hundred 
machines can be made daily. 

The Troy Eagle Dye House was 

established in 1837, and since 1844 has been 
under the proprietorship of C. W. Shack- 
lady. The reputation of the establishment 
during this time has been such as to draw 
in custom from a wide extent of territory. 
Thousands of dollars have been saved by 
having garments cleaned and dyed, making 
them almost as good as new, when other- 
wise they would be valueless. Silk, Woolen 
or Cotton Goods, of all descriptions, are 
dyed and finished in the best style. For 
particulars call at 430 River Street, or see

The Troy Agricultural Ware- 
house and Seed Store, advertised on 
page 264, was started in the spring of 1842, 
by Mr. Henry Warren. It was the first 
exclusively agricultural store established 
in this County. It was at first opened in a 
small building above the bridge. The 
business gradually increased until 1857, 
when Mr. George M. Taylor became a 
partner, since which the firm has been 
Warren & Taylor. To meet the demands 
of their increasing business, they erected 
last fall a large building at the foot of 
Grand Division Street. It is about 62 feet 
square, four stories high in front, and five 
in the rear. This firm are among the larg- 
est dealers in grindstones in this country,

for the farm and garden, is unsurpassed in 
variety and quality, and farmers and gar- 
deners may rely upon finding these seeds 
just what they are represented to be. All 
desirable agricultural implements are kept 
on hand and sold at reasonable rates. The 
reputation of this firm for fair dealing, and 
its perfect reliability, furnish the secret of 
their success. We commend them to the

Paper Boats were first introduced at 
Troy, N. Y., in the fall of 1867; but it was 
not until the season of 1868 that they were 
regularly manufactured for sale. The in- 
ventors and patentees, Messrs Geo. A. aud 
Elisha Waters, associated with Colonel 
Geo. T. Balch, late of the U. S. Army, un- 
der the firm name of Waters, Balch & Co., 
are at present the only manufacturers of 
these boats in the United States. At their 
manufactory in the northern part of the 
city, they employ ten men in the business, 
and as it is rapidly increasing they expect 
to find it necessary to enlarge their facili- 
ties and their force during the present year. 
These boats have been sold and used all 
over the United States and in Canada, and 
their shell boats for racing, were rowed by 
the winners of fourteen matched races in 
1868, and twenty-six in 1869, a record uu- 
approached by the work of any other build- 
er. Continual improvement, in model, 
workmanship and speed, are being made, 
and they bid fair to come.into general use 
wherever boats are used for rac,ing, hunt-
